Layered electrides, as typified by Ca$_2$N, are a new class of quasi-two-dimensional materials with low work functions. Using first-principles calculations, we have shown that a graphene layer deposited on Ca$_2$N is doped to $n=5\times…

In an earlier work, it was shown that the dispersion of the van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) of graphene monolayer on 2D transition metal dichalcogenide (GrTMD) substrate comprises of the spin-split, gapped bands. Using these it was…

Two-dimensional layered and atomically thin elemental superconductors may be key ingredients in next-generation quantum technologies, if they can be stabilized and integrated into heterostructured devices under ambient conditions. However,…

The nature of the coupling leading to superconductivity in layered materials such as high-Tc superconductors and graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) is still unresolved. In both systems, interactions of electrons with either phonons or…

Recent transport measurements on thin graphite films grown on SiC show large coherence lengths and anomalous integer quantum Hall effects expected for isolated graphene sheets. This is the case eventhough the layer-substrate epitaxy of…

Band gap of monolayer and few layers in two dimensional (2D) semiconductors has usually been measured by optical probing such as photoluminescence (PL). However, if their exfoliated thickness is as large as a few nm (multilayer over ~5L),…

Two-dimensional van der Waals materials have become an established platform to engineer flat bands which can lead to strongly-correlated emergent phenomena. In particular, the family of Ta dichalcogenides in the 1\textit{T} phase presents a…

We study the effects of metallic doping on the electronic properties of graphene using density functional theory in the local density approximation in the presence of a local charging energy (LDA+U). The electronic properties are sensitive…

Poor electrical conductivity and large volume expansion during repeated charge and discharge is what has characterized many battery electrode materials in current use. This has led to 2D materials, specifically multi-layered 2D systems,…

Graphene on SiC intercalated with two-dimensional metal layers, such as Pt, offers a versatile platform for applications in spintronics, catalysis, and beyond. Recent studies have demonstrated that Pt atoms can intercalate at the…

Recent atomic force microscopy (AFM) experiments~[ACS Nano {\bf 2014}, 8, 12410-12417] conducted on graphene-coated SiO$_2$ demonstrated that monolayer graphene (G) can effectively screen dispersion van der Waals (vdW) interactions deriving…

Heterostructures of atomically-thin materials have attracted significant interest owing to their ability to host novel electronic properties fundamentally distinct from their constituent layers. In the case of graphene on boron nitride, the…

The interlayer gallery between two adjacent sheets of van der Waals materials is expected to modify properties of atoms and molecules confined at the atomic interfaces. Here, we directly image individual hydrogen atom intercalated between…

Tuning band gaps in two-dimensional (2D) materials is of great interest in the fundamental and practical aspects of contemporary material sciences. Recently, black phosphorus (BP) consisting of stacked layers of phosphorene was…

Two-dimensional (2D) graphene-like layered semiconductors provide a new platform for materials research because of their unique mechanical, electronic and optical attributes. Their in-plane covalent bonding and dangling-bond-free surface…

Van der Waals materials enable the construction of atomically sharp interfaces between compounds with distinct crystal and electronic properties. This is dramatically exploited in moir\'e systems, where a lattice mismatch or twist between…

Electrochemical intercalation is a powerful method for tuning the electronic properties of layered solids. In this work, we report an electro-chemical strategy to controllably intercalate lithium ions into a series of van der Waals (vdW)…

In the large family of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials including graphene, its honeycomb analogs, and transition-metal dichalcogenides, the interlayer coupling plays a rather intriguing role. On the one hand, the weak van der Waals…

Electron doping is an excellent tuning knob to explore different phases of matter in two-dimensional (2D) materials. For example, tuning the Fermi level at a van Hove singularity in twisted bilayer graphene can enhance electron-electron…
