Properties of many layered materials, including copper- and iron-based superconductors, topological insulators, graphite and epitaxial graphene, can be manipulated by the inclusion of different atomic ...

Intercalating native metal atoms (self-intercalation) into the van der Waals (vdW) gaps of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) has been considered as an effective method to create novel 2D ...

The image illustrates a layered structure composed of transition metals (blue) and sulfur (yellow). The space between the layers can be occupied by sodium ions (purple) and organic solvent molecules ...

In their paper, the researchers discuss in detail graphene delamination from platinum (Pt) surfaces using electrochemical methods. They show that water intercalation between graphene and a Pt surface ...

The β-modification of FeSe features an anti-PbO-type structure, consisting of stacked layers of edge-sharing FeSe₄ tetrahedra. Notably, it is a unique superconductor that requires neither doping nor ...

The physical characteristic known as intercalation is essential for operating many contemporary, cutting-edge technologies, ranging from lithium-ion batteries to next-generation superconductors. Image ...
