Hexagonal boron nitride (h‐BN) is a layered inorganic synthetic crystal exhibiting high
temperature stability and high thermal conductivity. As a ceramic material it has been widely …

In recent years, an increasing number of 2D van der Waals (vdW) materials are theory‐
predicted or laboratory‐validated to possess in‐plane (IP) and/or out‐of‐plane (OOP) …

Two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectrics with robust polarization down to atomic thicknesses
provide building blocks for functional heterostructures. Experimental realization remains …

Moiré superlattices formed by twisted stacking in van der Waals materials have emerged as
a new platform for exploring the physics of strongly correlated materials and other emergent …

Despite their partial ionic nature, many-layered diatomic crystals avoid internal electric
polarization by forming a centrosymmetric lattice at their optimal van der Waals stacking …

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides
(TMDs) promise greatly improved electrostatic control in future scaled electronic devices. To …

We report the connection between the stacking order and magnetic properties of bilayer CrI3
using first-principles calculations. We show that the stacking order defines the magnetic …

Vertical ferroelectricity in two-dimensional (2D) materials is desirable for high-density data
storage without quantum tunneling or high power consumption/dissipation, which still …

The discovery of graphene and other two-dimensional (2D) materials together with recent
advances in exfoliation techniques have set the foundations for the manufacturing of single …

Graphene/hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure has aroused
great interest because of the unique Moiré pattern. In this study, we use molecular dynamics …
