Fracture behaviours and related atomic-scale phenomena of van der Waals materials are elucidated through the use of electron microscopy, which highlights the important role of interlayer coupling and ...

Multiferroics are materials that exhibit more than one prominent "ferroic" property, such as ferromagnetism and ...

Interlayer excitons in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures exhibit fascinating physics and hold great promise for developing excitonic devices. Scientists in ...

In this work, we present a comprehensive microscopic study of the ultrafast kinetics of excitons in vdW heterostructures, in particular revealing the elementary time-resolved and energy-resolved ...

Scientists have demonstrated for the first time that interlayer coupling in a van der Waals (vdW) material can be largely modulated by a protonic gate, 'injecting' protons into the device. The same ...
