The interest in understanding and controlling the properties of two-dimensional materials
(2DMs) has fostered in the last years a signficant and multidisciplinary research effort …

Magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene, consisting of two graphene layers stacked at a
special angle, exhibits superconductivity due to the maximized density of states at the …

Au (001) surfaces exhibit a complex reconstructed structure [Hex− Au (001)] comprising a
hexagonal surface and square bulk lattices, yielding a quasi-one-dimensional corrugated …

We propose a hybrid variant of the level-based learning swarm optimizer (LLSO) for solving
large-scale portfolio optimization problems. This solver fills the gap due to the inadequacy of …

Two-dimensional materials can be combined by placing individual layers on top of each
other, so that they are bound only by their van der Waals interaction. The sequence of layers …

Constructing a van der Waals heterostructure (vdWH) by stacking different two-dimensional
(2D) materials has been considered to be an effective strategy to obtain the desired …

We study the effect of thermal oxygen exposure on a monolayer of h-BN grown on vicinal Ni
surfaces by scanning tunneling microscopy, X-ray absorption, and photoemission …

The structural and electronic properties of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) grown on stepped
Ni surfaces are systematically investigated using a cylindrical Ni crystal as a tunable …

Graphene growth and doping are well studied on flat surfaces of various materials. To
further advance the technological implementation of graphene-based systems, fundamental …

We investigate the propagation of electronic waves described by the Dirac equation subject
to a Lévy-type disorder distribution. Our numerical calculations, based on the transfer matrix …
