Graphene, a single two-dimensional sheet of carbon atoms with an arrangement mimicking
the honeycomb hexagonal architecture, has captured immense interest of the scientific …

The presence of defects in graphene has an essential influence on its physical and chemical
properties. The formation, behaviour and healing of defects are determined by energetic …

A robust approach for real-time analysis of the scanning transmission electron microscopy
(STEM) data streams, based on ensemble learning and iterative training (ELIT) of deep …

Patterning antidots, which are regions of potential hills that repel electrons, into well-defined
antidot lattices creates fascinating artificial periodic structures, leading to anomalous …

Despite the frequent use of noble gas ion irradiation of graphene, the atomistic-scale details,
including the effects of dose, energy, and ion bombardment species on defect formation, and …

Friction and wear are detrimental to functionality and reduce the service life of products with
mechanical elements. Here, we unveil the atomic-scale friction of a single tungsten asperity …

Despite its importance, the mechanical behavior of graphene under the impact of projectiles
has rarely been studied due to experimental and computational difficulties. Here, we …

The successful discovery and isolation of graphene in 2004, and the subsequent synthesis
of layered semiconductors and heterostructures beyond graphene have led to the exploding …

We suggest and implement an approach for the bottom-up description of systems
undergoing large-scale structural changes and chemical transformations from dynamic …

High-energy irradiation of materials can lead to void formation due to the aggregation of
vacancies, reducing the local stress in the system. Studying void formation and its interplay …
