Two dimensional van der Waals heterostructures (2D are of significant interest due to their intriguing physical properties that are critically defined by the constituent monolayers and their interlayer coupling . However, typical inorganic…
While the interactions between water molecules are dominated by strongly directional hydrogen bonds (HBs), it was recently proposed that relatively weak, isotropic van der Waals (vdW) forces are essential for understanding the properties of…
We apply a phenomenological theory of polar liquids to calculate the interaction energy between two plane surfaces at nm-distances. We show that depending on the properties of the surface-liquid interfaces, the interacting surfaces induce…
Within mean-field theory we study wetting of elastic substrates. Our analysis is based on a grand canonical free energy functional of the fluid number density and of the substrate displacement field. The substrate is described in terms of…

Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit remarkable thermal anisotropy due to their strong intralayer covalent bonding and weak interlayer van der Waals (vdW) interactions. However, accurately modeling their thermal…
The interaction of interfacial water with graphitic carbon at the atomic scale is studied as a function of the hydrophobicity of epitaxial graphene. High resolution X-ray reflectivity shows that the graphene-water contact angle is…

The role of interlayer bonds in the two-dimensional (2D) materials "beyond graphene" and so-called van der Waals heterostructures is vital, and understanding the nature of these bonds in terms of strength and type is essential due to a wide…
Intercalation reactions modify the charge density in van der Waals (vdW) materials through coupled electronic-ionic charge accumulation, and are susceptible to modulation by interlayer hybridization in vdW heterostructures. Here, we…
We investigate interlayer adhesion and relaxation at interfaces between graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) monolayers in van der Waals heterostructures. The adhesion potential between graphene and hBN is calculated as a function of…
We introduce an accurate and efficient method for characterizing surface wetting and interfacial properties, such as the contact angle made by a liquid droplet on a solid surface, and the vapor-liquid surface tension of a fluid. The method…
