Topological insulation is widely predicted in two-dimensional (2D) materials realized by epitaxial growth or van der Waals (vdW) exfoliation. Such 2D topological insulators (TI’s) host many interesting physical properties such...
van der Waals (vdWs) heterostructures, obtained by vertically stacking two-dimensional layered materials upon each other, appear particularly promising for future atomically thin electronic and optoelectronic devices and attract a great deal of attention due to their diverse functionalities.
One dimensional (1D)-two dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdWs) mixed-dimensional heterostructures with advantages of atomically sharp interface, high quality and good compatibility have attracted tremendous attention in recent years. The...
It is found that the biaxial strain, electric field and interlayer distance can effectively modulate the electronic structure and magnetic properties of two-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures.
