Van der Waals forces represent a fundamental type of interaction between molecules. Named after the Dutch physicist Johannes Diderik van der Waals, these intermolecular forces include attractions and ...

The in-plane stability of these 2D crystals is provided by strong covalent bonds, but the atomically thin layers are attached to each other through weak van der Waals interactions, similar to how a ...

unveiled the existence of an intriguing link between ferroelectric domain walls and electron interactions in some of these materials. "A large number of few-layer van der Waals materials ...

2D structures are typically built by atomic deposition and weakly bonded to each other by van der Waals interactions. In the last few years, an alternative approach for creating robust 2D ...

However, a more viable transformation, according to Prof. Moshe Ben Shalom, head of the Quantum Layered Matter Group at Tel Aviv University, involves reconfiguring graphite’s atomic layers by subtly ...

For the development of van der Waals thin films with high electronic performance, mechanical stretchability, and permeability for highly flexible, adaptable and breathable bioelectronic membranes. The ...
