2D materials: Moiré engineering and dislocation theory converge
- News
- Research
Researchers at INAC working with colleagues from the University of Illinois recently made new links between the moiré patterns in 2D materials and dislocation theory. It appears that the moiré patterns are merely optical phenomena. However at the scale of an atom, the patterns appear when layers are stretched, compressed, twisted, or moved out of […] >>
