Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have attracted tremendous interest as
atomically thin channels that could facilitate continued transistor scaling. However, despite …

A grand family of two-dimensional (2D) materials and their heterostructures have been
discovered through the extensive experimental and theoretical efforts of chemists, material …

The interplay between strong correlations and topology can lead to the emergence of
intriguing quantum states of matter. One well-known example is the fractional quantum Hall …

The behaviour of strongly correlated materials, and in particular unconventional
superconductors, has been studied extensively for decades, but is still not well understood …

A van der Waals heterostructure is a type of metamaterial that consists of vertically stacked
two-dimensional building blocks held together by the van der Waals forces between the …

Magnetism in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials has recently emerged as
one of the most promising areas in condensed matter research, with many exciting emerging …

Since the discovery of mechanically exfoliated graphene in 2004, research on ultrathin two-
dimensional (2D) nanomaterials has grown exponentially in the fields of condensed matter …

BACKGROUND Materials by design is an appealing idea that is very hard to realize in
practice. Combining the best of different ingredients in one ultimate material is a task for …

Hexagonal boron nitride (h‐BN) has emerged as a strong candidate for two‐dimensional
(2D) material owing to its exciting optoelectrical properties combined with mechanical …

Materials with flat electronic bands often exhibit exotic quantum phenomena owing to strong
correlations. An isolated low-energy flat band can be induced in bilayer graphene by simply …
