Finding new materials with useful properties is a primary goal for materials scientists, and it's central to improving ...

Van der Waals materials are made up of strongly bonded 2D layers that are bound in the third dimension through weaker van der Waals forces. For example, graphite is a van der Waals material that is ...

In a paper published in National Science Review, a team of scientists have achieved precise control of molecular alignment in van der Waals epitaxy, enabling the growth of single-crystal Sb2O3 films.

As a result, they discovered a stable 2D van der Waals oxide—InSbMoO 6 (ISM). The researchers successfully obtained single-layer ISM samples by mechanical peeling.

A group of scientists headed by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Trevor David Rhone, Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics, Applied Physics, and Astronomy, has discovered novel van der ...
