Paul Cazeaux, The University of Kansas, Twisted, incommensurate layered materials: modeling, computations and topology
ZoomTwo-dimensional crystals have been intensely investigated both experimentally and theoretically since graphene was exfoliated from graphite. Physicists have recently developed the ability to stack one layer on another with a twist angle controlled to the scale of .1 degree with the goal of creating two dimensional materials with desired electronic, optical, and mechanical properties. Unusual…
