The 2D crystals also stretch to conform to the substrate's curves. Eventually, however, the strain becomes too great and the crystals split to release the strain, atomic force microscopy and other ...

Graphene is a 2D atomic-layer material, shaped like honeycombs, which possesses excellent electrical, ... The structure, with a curvature radius down to 25-50 nanometers, ...

A team of researchers has amplified 3D graphene's electrical properties by controlling its curvature. "Our research showed the conservation and the degradation of the ultra-low dissipative ...

Semiconductor 2D materials are a few atoms thick, and some of them exhibit localized emission, where light is emitted from such a small part of the layer that only one photon at a time is produced.

A team led by scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory explored how atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) crystals can grow over 3D objects and how the curvature of ...
