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…
Recent experimental discoveries of graphene-stabilized patches of two-dimensional (2D) metals have motivated also their computational studies. However, so far the studies have been restricted to ideal and infinite 2D metallic monolayers,…
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides are pivotal for next-generation photonic devices due to their exceptional optical properties and strong light-matter interactions. However, their atomic thinness renders them susceptible…
We report deterministic control over moir\'e superlattice interference pattern in twisted bilayer graphene by implementing designable device-level heterostrain with process-induced strain engineering, a widely used technique in industrial…
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…
The field of two-dimensional (2D) materials has expanded to multilayered systems where electronic, optical, and mechanical properties change-often dramatically-with stacking order, thickness, twist, and interlayer spacing [1-5]. For…
Unlike conventional two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor superlattices, moir\'{e} patterns in 2D materials are flexible and their electronic, magnetic, optical, and mechanical properties depend on their topography. Within a…
The change of bonding status, typically occurring only in chemical processes, could dramatically alter the material properties. Here, we show that a tunable breaking and forming of a diatomic bond can be achieved through physical means,…
Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials and their bilayers have stimulated enormous interests in fundamental researches and technological applications. Recently, a group of 2D vdW III2-VI3 materials with out-of-plane…
At the few-atom-thick limit, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit a host of attractive electronic optical, and structural properties. The possibility to pattern these properties has a great impact on applied and fundamental…
Materials composed of two dimensional layers bonded to one another through weak van der Waals interactions often exhibit strongly anisotropic behaviors and can be cleaved into very thin specimens and sometimes into monolayer crystals.…
Machine learning models can assist with metamaterials design by approximating computationally expensive simulators or solving inverse design problems. However, past work has usually relied on black box deep neural networks, whose reasoning…
The discovery of two-dimensional (2D) materials possessing switchable spontaneous polarization with atomic thickness opens up exciting opportunities to realize ultrathin, high-density electronic devices with potential applications ranging…
Strain engineering is a powerful tool for tuning the electronic, magnetic, and topological properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials and thin films - particularly at high values of strain (>3%) where many electronic, magnetic, and…
The electronic, magnetic, and topological properties of CoBr2 monolayer are studied in the frame-work of the density-functional theory (DFT) combined with tight-binding (TB) modeling in terms of Wannier basis. Our DFT investigation and…
Recent technological advances in controlling materials have developed methods to produce idealized two-dimensional (2D) electron systems such as heterogeneous interfaces, molecular-beam-epitaxy (MBE) grown atomic layers, exfoliated thin…
Even the best quality 2D materials have non-negligible concentrations of vacancies and impurities. It is critical to understand and quantify how defects change intrinsic properties, and use this knowledge to generate functionality. This…
Doping of a two-dimensional (2D) material by impurity atoms occurs \textit{via} two distinct mechanisms: absorption of the dopants by the 2D crystal or adsorption on its surface. To distinguish the relevant mechanism, we systematically dope…
Intercalation (ic) of metal atoms into the van der Waals (vdW) gap of layered materials constitutes a facile strategy to create new materials whose properties can be tuned via the concentration of the intercalated atoms. Here we perform…
We provide a critical perspective on the collection of low-temperature transport phenomena in low-density two-dimensional semiconductor systems often referred to as the 2D metal-insulator transition. We discuss the physical mechanisms…
