To break the inversion symmetry, the team placed a vanadium oxide (VO2) wire underneath a sheet of MoS2. Molybdenum disulfide is a flexible material, Shi said, so it deformed its original shape to ...

Exploration A: Identifying the role of individual symmetry breaking modes in creating an electronic landscape in undoped 'quantum oxides' classified with band edge orbital character (BEOC): Here, we ...

Most known 2D materials have hexagons as building blocks. In these known materials, the atoms on the 2D plane easily form a hexagonal arrangement giving a particularly stable configuration. While ...

In this work, researchers successfully synthesized high-quality 2D CrVI 6 single crystals using chemical vapor phase transport (CVP), characterized the magnetic structure of thin-layer samples of ...
