MoS2 atomic layers have recently attracted much interest because of their two-dimensional structure as well as tunable optical, electrical, and mechanical properties for next generation electronic and electro-optical devices. Here we have…
The application of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, such as monolayer MoS2, is limited by the high contact resistance commonly attributed to interfacial barriers at metal contacts. Furthermore, the dependence of electrical conductivity…
We study the intrinsic friction of monolayers adsorbed on solid surfaces from a gas phase or vapor. Within the framework of the Langmuir model of delocalized adsorption, we calculate the resistance offered by the mobile adsorbate's…
Semiconducting monolayer of 2D material are able to concatenate multiple interesting properties into a single component. Here, by combining opto-mechanical and electronic measurements, we demonstrate the presence of a partial 2H-1T phase…
Components of technical systems and devices often require self-lubricating properties, which are implemented by means of dry lubricants. However, continuous lubricant coatings on the components' surfaces often suffer from poor adhesion,…
This work develops, discretizes, and validates a continuum model of a molybdenum disulfide (MoS$_2$) monolayer interacting with a periodic holey silicon nitride substrate via van der Waals (vdW) forces. The MoS$_2$ layer is modeled as a…
We study the effect of viscoelastic dynamics on the frictional properties of a (mean field) spring-block system pulled on a rough surface by an external drive. When the drive moves at constant velocity V, two dynamical regimes are observed:…
The resistance against rolling of a rigid cylinder on a flat viscous surface is investigated. We found that the rolling-friction coefficient reveals strongly non-linear dependence on the cylinder's velocity. For low velocity the…
Two-dimensional MXenes are promising solid lubricants, but the roles of compositional complexity and surface chemistry in governing interfacial friction remain unclear. Here, we systematically investigate the adhesion and friction behaviors…
While boron nitride (BN) substrates have been utilized to achieve high electronic mobilities in graphene field effect transistors, it is unclear how other layered two dimensional (2D) crystals influence the electronic performance of…
Developing techniques for high-quality synthesis of mono and few-layered 2D materials with lowered complexity and cost continues to remain an important goal, both for accelerating fundamental research and for applications development. We…
Transition metal nitrides are a fascinating class of hard coating material that provide an excellent platform for investigating superconductivity and fundamental electron phonon interactions. In this work the structural morphological and…
We utilize density functional theory to calculate the edge energy and edge stress for monolayer MoS$_{2}$ nanoribbons. In contrast to previous reports for graphene, for both armchair and zigzag chiralities, the edge stresses for MoS$_{2}$…
The layered structure and the rheological properties of anti-wear films, generated in a rolling/sliding contact from lubricants containing zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDTP) and/or molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamate (MoDTC) additives, have…
Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides are novel, gapped two-dimensional materials. Toward device applications, we consider MoS$_2$ layers on dielectrics, in particular in this work, the effect of vacancies on the electronic structure.…
Solution-processed few-layers graphene flakes, dispensed to rotating and sliding contacts via liquid dispersions, are gaining increasing attention as friction modifiers to achieve low friction and wear at technologically-relevant…
Recent highly idealized model studies of lubricated nanofriction for two crystalline sliding surfaces with an interposed thin solid crystalline lubricant layer showed that the overall relative velocity of the lubricant $v_{\rm lub} / v_{\rm…
The flow of dense suspensions, glasses, and granular materials is heavily influenced by frictional interactions between constituent particles. However, neither hydrodynamics nor friction has successfully explained the full range of flow…
Using molecular dynamics simulations we investigate the dependence of the structural and vibrational properties of the surfaces of sodo-silicate glasses on the sodium content as well as the nature of the surface. Two types of glass surfaces…
One of the enduring challenges in graphene research and applications is the extreme sensitivity of its charge carriers to external perturbations, especially those introduced by the substrate. The best available substrates to date, graphite…
