Certain two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals-bonded bilayers (e.g., WTe₂ and h-BN) exhibit “sliding ferroelectricity (SF),” where electric polarization arises from specific stacking configurations ...
With THz spectroscopy scaled down to chip-sized, researchers identified a potential new way to control quantum materials. (Nanowerk News) In the right combinations and conditions, two-dimensional ...
Chief among these is surface contamination introduced by standard handling techniques, which often rely on polymer-based supports to transfer or stack layers. Even ...
