Atoms deposited on two-dimensional (2D) electronic materials, such as graphene, can exhibit unconventional many-body correlations, not accessible in other settings. All of these are driven by van der Waals forces: between the atoms…
We present a theoretical study on the electron transmission through the AB-BA stacking boundary in multilayer graphene. Using the tight-binding model and the transfer matrix method, we calculate the electron transmission probability through…
Vertical stacking of atomically thin materials offers a large platform for realizing novel properties enabled by proximity effects and moir\'e patterns. Here we focus on mechanically assembled heterostructures of graphene and ReS$_2$, a van…
Recent discovery of a novel hexagonal phase of GeSe (Gamma-GeSe) has triggered great interests in nanoelectronics applications owing to its electrical conductivity of bulk phase even higher than graphite while its monolayer is a…
Graphene - a monolayer of carbon atoms densely packed into a hexagonal lattice - has one of the strongest possible atomic bonds and can be viewed as a robust atomic-scale scaffold, to which other chemical species can be attached without…
We model monolayer graphene-like materials with BC$_6$N stoichiometry where the bonding between the B and the N atoms plays an important role for their physical and chemical properties. Two types of BC$_6$N are found based on the BN bonds:…
In graphite crystals, layers of graphene reside in three equivalent, but distinct, stacking positions typically referred to as A, B, and C projections. The order in which the layers are stacked defines the electronic structure of the…
Stacking polymorphism is a common characteristic of van der Waals layered materials and can substantially modify their physical properties. Here, based on first-principles calculations combined with electron and phonon transport theories,…
Spatially separated electron systems remain strongly coupled by electron-electron interactions even when they cannot exchange particles, provided that the layer separation d is comparable to a characteristic distance l between charge…
We present a numerical study of three-layer graphene heterostructures in which the layers are twisted by the magic angle ($\sim$1.1$^\circ$) or by $\sim$$30^\circ$ to form a graphene quasicrystal. The heterostacks are described using…
2D crystals, such as graphene, exhibit the higher strength and stiffness of any other known man-made or natural material. So far, this assertion has been primarily based on modelling predictions and on bending experiments in combination…
We demonstrate that freeing a single-atom thick layer of hexagonal boron nitride (hbn) from tight chemical bonding to a Ni(111) thin film grown on a W(110) substrate can be achieved by intercalation of Au atoms into the interface. This…
We calculate the dynamical conductivity of AA-stacked bilayer graphene as a function of frequency and in the presence of a finite chemical potential due to charging. Unlike the monolayer, we find a Drude absorption at charge neutrality in…
We have studied two interchange layer systems, (i) free standing partly hydrogenated graphene (graphone), and (ii) graphone on the Nickel (111) surface, to assess various density functional theory based computational schemes incorporating…
Twisted bilayer graphene exhibits isolated, relatively flat electronic bands near charge neutrality when the interlayer rotation is tuned to specific magic angles. These small misalignments, typically below 1.1{\deg}, result in long-period…
It was generally assumed that weak van der Waals interactions exist between neighboring layers in the two-dimensional group-IV chalcogenides. Using PbSe as a prototypal example, however, we find additional strong coupling between the Pb-Pb…
Graphene and few-layer graphene at high bias expose a wealth of phenomena due to the high temperatures reached. With in-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) we observe directly how the current modifies the structure, and vice versa.…
Research on graphene and other two-dimensional atomic crystals is intense and likely to remain one of the hottest topics in condensed matter physics and materials science for many years. Looking beyond this field, isolated atomic planes can…
We highlight the non-universality of the asymptotic behavior of dispersion forces, such that a sum of inverse sixth power contributions is often inadequate. We analytically evaluate the cross-correlation energy Ec between two pi-conjugated…
Vertically stacked van der Waals structures are promising platforms that enable layer engineering, opening new avenues for the quantum control of elementary excitations, including optically generated bound electron-hole pairs. Here we…
