Water under the Cover: Structures and Thermodynamics of Water Encapsulated by Graphene
Shuping Jiao, Chuanhua Duan, Zhiping Xu
Understanding the phase behaviors of nanoconfined water has driven notable research interests recently. In this work, we examine the structures and thermodynamics of water encapsul…
Predicting the Lifetime of Superlubricity
Anle Wang, Qichang He, Zhiping Xu
The concept of superlubricity has recently called upon notable interest after the demonstration of ultralow friction between atomistically smooth surfaces in layered materials. How…
Geometrical Effect Explains Graphene Membrane Stiffening at Finite Vacancy Concentrations
Zhigong Song, Zhiping Xu
The presence of defects such as vacancies in solids has prominent effects on their mechanical properties. It not only modifies the stiffness and strength of materials, but also cha…
Mechanistic Transition from Phonon Propagation to Thermal Hopping in Two-Dimensional Solids
Yanlei Wang, Zhigong Song, Zhiping Xu
Thermal transport in solids changes its nature from phonon propagation that suffers from perturbative scattering to thermally activated hops between localized vibrational modes as…
