Since the success of monolayer graphene exfoliation, two-dimensional (2D) materials have
been extensively studied due to their unique structures and unprecedented properties …

The physical-chemistry of the graphene/aqueous–electrolyte interface underpins the
operational conditions of a wide range of devices. Despite its importance, this interface is …

Defects play a critical role for the functionality and performance of materials, but the
understanding of the related effects is often lacking, because the typically low concentrations …

Liquid crystals are assemblies of rod-like molecules which self-organize to form
mesophases, in between ordinary liquids and anisotropic crystals. At each point, the …

Organic/inorganic hybrid interfaces play a prominent role in organic (opto) electronics,
heterogeneous catalysis, sensors, and other current fields of technology. The performance …

The performance of graphene-based (opto) electronic devices depends critically on the
graphene/metal interface formed at the metal contacts. We show here that the interface …

In this study, we investigate the behavior of carbon clusters (C n, where n ranges from 16 to
26) supported on the surface of MgO. We consider the impact of doping with common …

More than a century ago, AA Griffith published the seminal paper establishing the
foundational framework for fracture mechanics. The elegant theory creatively introduced the …

Precise control and in-depth understanding of the interfaces are crucial for the functionality-
oriented material design with desired properties. Herein, via modifying the long-standing …

This study investigates the electron transport properties of two-terminal disordered graphene
nanoribbons (GNRs), considering the presence of randomly distributed “5-5-8” line defects …
