Hexagonal boron nitride (h‐BN) is a layered inorganic synthetic crystal exhibiting high
temperature stability and high thermal conductivity. As a ceramic material it has been widely …

Overlaying two atomic layers with a slight lattice mismatch or at a small rotation angle
creates a moiré superlattice, which has properties that are markedly modified from (and at …

The design and control of material interfaces is a foundational approach to realize
technologically useful effects and engineer material properties. This is especially true for two …

Polaritons are hybrid excitations of matter and photons. In recent years, polaritons in van der
Waals nanomaterials—known as van der Waals polaritons—have shown great promise to …

Despite their partial ionic nature, many-layered diatomic crystals avoid internal electric
polarization by forming a centrosymmetric lattice at their optimal van der Waals stacking …

Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures based on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs)
generally possess a type-II band alignment that facilitates the formation of interlayer excitons …

Pristine graphene has been considered one of the most promising materials because of its
excellent physical and chemical properties. However, various defects in graphene produced …

For more than seven decades, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has been employed as an
inert, thermally stable engineering ceramic; since 2010, it has also been used as the optimal …

In this brief review, we summarize and elaborate on some of the nomenclature of polaritonic
phenomena and systems as they appear in the literature on quantum materials and …

Two-dimensional heterostructures (2D HSs) have emerged as a new class of materials
where dissimilar 2D materials are combined to synergise their advantages and alleviate …
