Two-dimensional (2D) crystals, such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride and transitional metal dichalcogenides, have attracted tremendous amount of attention over the past decade due to their extraordinary thermal, electrical and optical…
Using molecular dynamics simulations, we probe a suspended graphene layer by a diamond-like-carbon tip at various temperatures. The force acting on the tip in the sliding direction is measured to be negative at liquid-helium temperature.…
After the pioneered experimental works on superlubricity by Martin et al. on MoS2 [1], Hirano et al. on tungsten and silicon [2] and the further confirmation by Dienwiebel et al. on graphite [3], many groups around the word investigated the…
For a system of two spatially separated monoatomic graphene layers encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride, we consider the drag effect between charge carriers in the Fermi liquid regime. Commonly, the phenomenon is described in terms of an…
The structure and motion of carbon and h-BN nanotubes (NTs) deposited on graphene is inquired theoretically by simulations based on state-of-the-art interatomic force fields. Results show that any typical cylinder-over-surface approximation…
We investigate the dependence of friction forces on normal load in incommensurate micrometer size contacts between atomically smooth single-crystal graphite surfaces under ambient conditions. Our experimental results show that these…
When hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and graphene are aligned at zero or small twist angle, a moir\'e structure is formed due to the small lattice constant mismatch between the two structures. In this work, we analyze magnetic ordering…
We calculate the friction of fully mobile graphene flakes sliding on graphite. For incommensurately stacked flakes, we find a sudden and reversible increase in friction with load, in agreement with experimental observations. The transition…
Integration of individual two-dimensional materials into heterostructures is a crucial step which enables development of new and technologically interesting functional systems of reduced dimensionality. Here, well-defined lateral…
Electronic properties of the graphene layer sandwiched between two hexagonal boron nitride sheets have been studied using the first-principles calculations and the minimal tight-binding model. It is shown that for the ABC-stacked structure…
Metal nanostructures confined between sp2 hybridized 2D materials and solid supports are attracting attention for their potential application in new nanotechnologies. Model studies under well-defined conditions are valuable for…
Aiming to improve fabrication protocols for boron nitride and graphene (h-BNG) lateral heterostructures, we studied the growth of h-BNG thin films on platinum and their behavior in an oxygen environment. We employed a surface science…
Graphite and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) are two prominent members of the family of layered materials possessing a hexagonal lattice. While graphite has non-polar homo-nuclear C-C intra-layer bonds, h-BN presents highly polar B-N bonds…
Encapsulating graphene in hexagonal Boron Nitride has several advantages: the highest mobilities reported to date are achieved in this way, and precise nanostructuring of graphene becomes feasible through the protective hBN layers.…
Interfacial interactions in two parallel-stacked hexagonal boron-nitride (hBN) layers facilitate sliding ferroelectricity, enabling novel device functionalities. Additionally, when Bernal or twisted bilayer graphene is aligned with an hBN…
Static friction induced by moir\'e superstructure in twisted incommensurate finite layered material interfaces reveals unique double periodicity and lack of scaling with contact size. The underlying mechanism involves compensation of…
Half-metals have been envisioned as active components in spintronic devices by virtue of their completely spin-polarized electrical currents. Actual materials hosting half-metallic phases, however, remain scarce. Here, we predict that…

Understanding magnetoresistance, the change in electrical resistance upon an external magnetic field, at the atomic level is of great interest both fundamentally and technologically. Graphene and other two-dimensional layered materials…
Self-superlubricity is a highly anticipated phenomenon where certain solid pairs in contact, without lubricant, exhibit zero wear and virtually null static friction and coefficient of friction (CoF). We present the first experimental…
