Vacancies are prevalent and versatile in solid-state physics and materials science. The role of vacancies in strongly correlated materials, however, remains uncultivated until now. Here, we report the discovery of an unprecedented vacancy…

Two dimensional crystals melt via an intermediate \textit{hexatic} phase which is characterized by an anomalous scaling of spatial and orientational correlation functions and the absence of an attraction between dislocations. We propose a…

Ideal crystals are fully ordered, but real-world crystals always contain defects breaking translational symmetry. Random defects in crystals have important implications and they e.g. provide the foundation for semiconductor-based electronic…

Despite the rapid pace of computationally and experimentally discovering new two-dimensional layered materials, a general criteria for a given compound to prefer a layered structure over a non-layered one remains unclear. Articulating such…

Dislocations can climb out of their glide plane by absorbing (or emitting) point defects (vacancies and self-interstitial atoms (SIAs)). In contrast with conservative glide motion, climb relies on the point defects' thermal diffusion and…
