| Abstract | Two-dimensional materials enable creating a new class of nanoscale material systems by vertical, layer-by-layer stacking, resulting in ‘van der Waals’ heterostructures. This project aims to investigate the structural-mechanical-electronic coupling of van der Waals heterostructures with the ultimate goal of enabling friction control at nanoscale contacts. This knowledge will advance the design of nano- and microelectromechanical devices serving commercial and U.S. security needs by removing const |
