Strain engineering usually refers to a kind of material processing technology, which aims to regulate the properties of materials or optimize related devices' performance by inherent or external ...

A new technical paper titled “Strain engineering in 2D FETs: Physics, status, and prospects” was published by researchers at UC Santa Barbara. “In this work, we explore the physics and evaluate the ...

Quantum defects are tiny imperfections in solid crystal lattices that can trap individual electrons and their "spin" (i.e., the internal angular momentum of particles). These defects are central to ...

In van der Waals layered structures, when two adjacent layers have small lattice mismatch and nearly aligned crystalline directions, the interlayer atomic registry will vary periodically on a length ...
