Researchers at the University of Manchester in collaboration with CMT theorists (M. Andelkovic, S. Milovanovic, L. Covaci and F. Peeters) have uncovered interesting phenomena when multiple two-dimensional materials are combined into van der Waals heterostructures (layered ’sandwiches’ of different materials).
2D materials heterostructures are sometimes compared to Lego bricks, where the individual blocks represent different atomically thin crystals, such as graphene, and are stacked on top of each other to form new devices. Published in Science Advances, the team focused on how the different crystals begin to alter one another's fundamental properties when brought into such close proximity. ...
