UItra-low friction and edge-pinning effect in large-lattice-mismatch van der Waals heterostructures.
Mengzhou Liao,Mengzhou Liao,Paolo Nicolini,Luojun Du,Luojun Du,Jiahao Yuan,Shuopei Wang,Hua Yu,Jian Tang,Peng Cheng,Kenji Watanabe,Takashi Taniguchi,Lin Gu,Victor E. P. Claerbout,Andrea Silva,Denis Kramer,Denis Kramer,Tomas Polcar,Tomas Polcar,Rong Yang,Dongxia Shi,Guangyu Zhang +21 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the superlubricity phenomenon and the edgepinning effect at MoS2/graphite and MoS 2/hexagonal boron nitride van der Waals heterostructure interfaces were investigated.

TL;DR: The simulations show how epitaxy theory breaks down in MoS2/Graphene systems, and the observed behaviour is explained in terms of an interplay between flexural phonons and the interlayer coupling, governed by moir\'e superlattice.
Design Guidelines for Two-Dimensional Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Alloys
TL;DR: In this paper , the phase behavior of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) alloys is analyzed in terms of a metastability metric and benchmarked against the First-Principles energy landscape.

Dissipation Mechanisms and Superlubricity in Solid Lubrication by Wet-Transferred Solution-Processed Graphene Flakes: Implications for Micro Electromechanical Devices
TL;DR: In this paper , a state-of-the-art additive-free aqueous dispersion to coat micrometric silica beads, which are then sled under ambient conditions against prototypical material substrates, namely, graphite and the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) MoS2 and WS2.
