In van der Waals layered structures, when two adjacent layers have small lattice mismatch and nearly aligned crystalline directions, the interlayer atomic registry will vary periodically on a length ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- When two similar atomic layers with mismatching lattice constants -- the constant distance between a layer's unit cells -- and/or orientation are stacked together, the resulting ...

Moiré materials are a class of 2D nanomaterials that exhibit unique properties arising from the periodic interference patterns formed when two or more atomically thin layers are stacked with a slight ...

Answering these simple questions can give you an intuitive feel for the geometric properties behind the emergence of superconductivity in rotated graphene sheets. Materials science was rocked recently ...
