Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Georgia Institute of Technology have demonstrated that atomic scale moire patterns, an interference pattern that appears ...

Atomic Moire Pattern of Graphene (IMAGE) National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Caption. Moiré patterns appear when two or more periodic grids are overlaid slightly askew, ...

But by sandwiching graphene between two layers of boron nitride, which also has a hexagonal pattern, a moiré pattern results. The presence of this pattern is accompanied by dramatic changes in the ...

This achievement marks the first time researchers have directly imaged how moiré phasons govern thermal vibrations in twisted ...

Graphene is 200 times stronger than steel, yet can be up to six times lighter. By stacking one layer of graphene on top of another, then twisting one layer, a moiré pattern at the atomic scale ...

Golden rules for building atomic blocks Date: August 28, 2023 Source: National University of Singapore Summary: Physicists have developed a technique to precisely control the alignment of ...

Properties of materials are often defined by imperfections in their atomic structure, especially when the material itself is just one atom thick, such as graphene. Researchers have now developed a ...

Japanese researchers have developed a simulation-based technique to measure the bending rigidity of graphene sheets with ...

Overlapping moiré lattices in trilayer graphene produce hierarchical atomic structures and novel motifs, such as triangular, kagome, and hexagram patterns, due to both nearest and non-neighboring ...

Constructing moiré patterns and chirality in 2D materials offers large freedom for manipulating properties but has difficulties in synthesis.

But by sandwiching graphene between two layers of boron nitride, which also has a hexagonal pattern, a moiré pattern results. The presence of this pattern is accompanied by dramatic changes in the ...
