Two-dimensional Janus van der Waals (vdW) heterojunctions, referring to the junction containing at least one Janus material, are found to exhibit tuneable electronic structures, wide light adsorption spectra, controllable contact…
The isolation of a growing number of two-dimensional (2D) materials has inspired worldwide efforts to integrate distinct 2D materials into van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures. Given that any passivated, dangling bond-free surface will…
Advancing the chemical synthesis of crystals is important for both fundamental research and practical applications of quantum materials. While established bulk-phase and thin-film growth methods have enabled enormous progress, synthesizing…
The phenomena of pronounced electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions in one-dimensional (1D) systems are ubiquitous, which are well described by frameworks of Luttinger liquid, Peierls instability and concomitant charge density…
Enhanced van der Waals (vdW) epitaxy of semiconductors on layered vdW substrate is identified as the formation of dative bonds. For example, despite that NbSe2 is a vdW layered material, first-principles calculations reveal that the bond…
The integration of two-dimensional (2D) materials with photonic structures has catalyzed a wide spectrum of optical and optoelectronic applications. Conventional nanophotonic structures generally lack efficient reconfigurability and…
Bi$_4$Br$_4$ is a prototypical quasi one-dimensional (1D) material in which covalently bonded bismuth bromide chains are arranged in parallel, side-by-side and layer-by-layer, with van der Waals (vdW) gaps in between. So far, two different…
New equiatomic nickel germanides MgNiGe, SrNiGe, and BaNiGe have been synthesized from the elements in sealed tantalum tubes using a high-frequency furnace. The compounds were investigated by X-ray diffraction both on powders and single…
Nanostructures can be bound together at equilibrium by the van der Waals (vdW) effect, a small but ubiquitous many-body attraction that presents challenges to density functional theory. How does the binding energy depend upon the size or…
van der Waals (vdW) heterojunctions formed by two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted tremendous attention due to their excellent electrical/optical properties and device applications. However, current 2D heterojunctions are largely…
The advent of graphene and other two-dimensional van der Waals materials, with their unique electrical, optical, and thermal properties, has resulted in tremendous progress for fundamental science. Recent developments suggest that taking…
Emergence of topological states in strongly correlated systems, particularly two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides, offers a platform for manipulating electronic properties in quantum materials. However, a comprehensive…
We report the first experimental observation of strong coupling effect in one-dimensional moir\'e crystals. We study one-dimensional double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) in which van der Waals-coupled two single nanotubes form…
Parallel quasi-one-dimensional metals are known to experience strong dispersion (van der Waals, vdW) interactions that fall off unusually slowly with separation between the metals. Examples include nanotube brushes, nano-wire arrays, and…
The dispersive interaction between nanotubes is investigated through ab initio theory calculations and in an analytical approximation. A van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF) [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 246401 (2004)] is used to determine and…
Van der Waals (vdW) superconductors - atomically thin crystalline materials that can be stacked into more complex heterostructures - have opened a promising avenue for superconducting electronics thanks to their properties that are…
Van der Waals heterostructures have emerged as an ideal platform for creating engineered artificial electronic states. While vertical heterostructures have been extensively studied, realizing high-quality lateral heterostructures with…
Van de Waals heterostructures (VDWH) is an emerging strategy to engineer the electronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) material systems. Motivated by the recent discovery of MoSi$_2$N$_4$ - a synthetic septuple-layered 2D semiconductor…
Van der Waals heterostructures (vdWH) are made of different two-dimensional (2D) layers stacked on top of each other, forming a single material with unique properties that differ from those of the individual 2D constituent layers, and that…
Quasi one-dimensional (1D) vanadium tetrasulfide ($VS_4$) nanowires (NWs) are synthetic semiconductors which combine with each other through Van der Waals interactions to form bulk phases. However, the properties of these individual…
