Tunable macroscale structural superlubricity in two-layer graphene via strain engineering

Tunable macroscale structural superlubricity in two-layer graphene via strain engineering

Superlubricity in macro-scale graphitic samples is hampered by commensurate stacking domains that prevent facile sliding between adjacent graphene layers. Here, the authors show the presence of macroscale structural superlubricity between two randomly stacked graphene layers produced by both mechani...
