Antiferromagnetic materials, materials in which atoms are arranged so that all neighboring atoms are anti-parallel (i.e., pointing in the opposite direction) to them, can have several advantageous properties for the development ...
Electronics & Semiconductors
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are a class of semiconducting materials with thicknesses on the atomic scale. These materials have numerous advantageous properties, including good mobilities at thicknesses below 1 nm, ...
