In contrast, van der Waals heterostructures do not lack ambition. Imagine the following structure. Graphene is put on top of a dielectric crystal a few layers thick (for example, mica), and the sequence is repeated again and again. The resulting van der Waals crystal is super- ficially ...
This Primer provides an overview of state-of-the-art methodologies for producing such van der Waals heterostructures, focusing on the two fundamentally different strategies, top-down deterministic assembly and bottom-up synthesis. Successful techniques, advantages and limitations are discussed for both ...
Each layer in 2DLMs consists of a covalently bonded, dangling-bond-free lattice and is weakly bound to neighbouring layers by van der Waals interactions. This makes it feasible to isolate, mix and match highly disparate atomic layers to create a wide range of van der Waals heterostructures (...
In two-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures, a tunable moiré lattice potential for electronic excitations may form 4 , enabling the generation of correlated electron gases in the lattice potentials 5–9 . Excitons conf i ned in moiré lattices have also been reported 10,11 , but no ...
van der Waals heterostructuresOptically excited states in semiconductors are highly sensitive to the physical properties of the materials underneath. In article number 2003501, Kazunari Matsuda and co‐workers demonstrate modulation and control of the excitonic states (excitons and trions) in a novel van...
The explosion of two-dimensional layered materials (2DLMs) with diverse characteristics forms the foundation for van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs). The vdWHs coupled with different stacking alignments of 2DLMs demonstrate a wide range of interesting
[Introduction] High-quality van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures are produced by stacking together different two-dimensional (2D) materials1,2. The properties are highly customisable depending on the component materials and the layer sequence, providing use in a wide variety of applications. Compared...
Van der Waals heterostructures open a new territory where 2D crystals with different electronic degrees of freedom (charge, spin, valley, excitonic or combined) are interfaced to achieve an entirely new group of spintronic heterostructures. They present not only new ways of integrating atomically thin...
