Sliding ferroelectrics are a type of two-dimensional (2D) material realized by stacking nonpolar monolayers (atom-thick layers that lack an electric dipole). When these individual layers are stacked, ...
A research group from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has proposed a new strategy to precisely manipulate interlayer stacking ...
Van der Waals polytypes are distinct stacking arrangements of identical atomic layers that form metastable periodic crystals. Remarkably, these stacking configurations can interconvert under ...
