A plethora of two-dimensional (2D) materials have been introduced in physics and
engineering in the past two decades. Their robust, membranelike sheets permit (mostly …

Structural superlubricity refers to the lubrication state in which the friction between two
crystalline surfaces in incommensurate contact is nearly zero; this has become an important …

Multilayer van der Waals (vdW) materials exhibit nontrivial out-of-plane responses and
deformability due to their inherent atomic scale thickness coupled with weak interlayer vdW …

Static friction induced by moiré superstructures in twisted incommensurate finite layered
material interfaces reveals unique double periodicity and lack of scaling with contact size …

Static friction, a ubiquitous physical phenomenon, plays a significant role in natural
processes and industrial applications. Its influence is particularly notable in the field of …

Structural superlubricity based on twisted layered materials has stimulated great research
interests. Recent MD simulations show that the circular twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) …

Molecular dynamics simulations and first principles calculations were performed to study the
tribological behavior of graphene/h-BN (G/h-BN) heterostructures with vacancy and Stone …

A plethora of two-dimensional (2D) materials entered the physics and engineering scene in
