Researchers have revealed new insights into rhombohedral stacking in graphene, reporting on how it behaves as a semiconductor ...

University of Texas at Dallas scientists are investigating how structures made from several layers of graphene stack up in terms of their fundamental ...

The material behind this work, known as rhombohedral pentalayer graphene, was discovered two years ago by physicists led by Ju. "We found a goldmine, and every scoop is revealing something new ...

Referring to the new material, known as rhombohedral pentalayer graphene, Ju says, "We found a gold mine, and every scoop is revealing something new." Rhombohedral pentalayer graphene is ...

The new research shows that the special topology of rhombohedral graphite effectively provides an inbuilt “twist” and therefore offers an alternative medium to study potentially game-changing effects ...

Dr. Fan Zhang, professor of physics at The University of Texas at Dallas, and his research group — physics doctoral students Ninad Dongre, Praveen Pai and Tianyi Xu and research scientist Dr. Chiho ...

In contrast, rhombohedral stacking, or ABC stacking, features a unidirectional, or chiral, 60-degree rotation for each successive layer. “Hexagonal stacking is more structurally stable ...
