Researchers from the groups of Prof. Herre Van der Zant at TU Delft and Prof. Yara Galvão Gobato at the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCAR) have teamed up to explore Van der Waals Heterostructures for Spintronics via a recent SPRINT grant. The
The explosion of two-dimensional layered materials (2DLMs) with diverse characteristics forms the foundation for van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs). The vdWHs coupled with different stacking alignments of 2DLMs demonstrate a wide range of interesting functions in fields such as optoelectronics, electronics, sensing, thermoelectrics, and energy conversion and storage.
With the help of a surfactant, scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University dispersed insulating boron nitride nanotubes and coated them onto surfaces without the need for bundling.
In a paper recently published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials, researchers reviewed the recent developments in 2D van der Waals heterostructure (VDWH)-based chemical sensors, providing an overview of the sensing techniques, challenges, and future opportunities.
