New method for determining exchange energy in 2D materials

Detective work yielded a simple solution

10-Jul-2024 - Researchers from the University of Basel have looked at how the ferromagnetic properties of electrons in the two-dimensional semiconductor molybdenum disulfide can be better understood. They revealed a surprisingly simple way of measuring the energy needed to flip an electron spin. Ferromagnetism ...

High-tech lubricant forms by itself when needed

Precisely where friction is high, lubricants are created that ensure lower friction: At the Vienna University of Technology, this was achieved with special 2D materials

20-Jun-2023 - Our bodies have a few things in common with machines: We have moving joints, friction and wear occur, so you need suitable lubricants. The body produces them naturally all by itself - something similar is now possible with machines. By choosing suitable materials, it is possible to achieve that ...

How to fire projectiles through materials without breaking anything

It sounds a bit like a magic trick

29-Nov-2022 - When charged particles are being shot through ultra-thin layers of material, sometimes spectacular micro-explosions occur, sometimes the material remains almost intact. This has now been explained at the TU Wien. It sounds a bit like a magic trick: Some materials can be shot through with fast, ...

The electron slow motion: How do different materials react to the impact of ions?

Femtosecond journey through graphene

23-Aug-2022 - When ions penetrate a material, highly complex processes take place - so fast that they could hardly be analyzed until now. But sophisticated measurements have now made it possible. How do different materials react to the impact of ions? This is a question that plays an important role in many ...

Moiré effect: How to twist material properties

2D materials have triggered a boom in materials research. Now it turns out that exciting effects occur when two such layered materials are stacked and slightly twisted

24-Mar-2021 - The discovery of the material graphene, which consists of only one layer of carbon atoms, was the starting signal for a global race: Today, so-called "2D materials" are produced, made of different types of atoms. Atomically thin layers that often have very special material properties not found in ...
