Article Abstract
Twisted multilayer graphene (tMLG), in contrast to twisted bilayer graphene, offers a range of angular rotations for tuning the properties of the system. In this work, a turbostratic graphene system with a high degree of two-dimensional (2D) crystallinity is chosen to represent tMLG. We have investigated the distribution and population of twist angles from distributed sextets in electron diffraction (SAED) patterns with the collective Raman behavior at the same locations. A descriptor, termed the turbostratic factor, was calculated on the basis of angular spacings in SAEDs, to account for their distribution; the greater the spread, the higher the turbostratic factor. Raman spectra have revealed that the turbostratic factor remains low (∼0°) for a graphitic region with a low 2D to G intensity ratio (/) and increases rapidly at higher / values, saturating at 60° for highly turbostratic systems. Relating the intensities associated with the sextets and / values, we found the maximum achievable value of / to be 17.92.

Turbostratic multilayer graphene presents a unique system with a large number of twisted interfaces with variable twist angles. In this work, we have systematically studied the laser excitation energy dependence of the Raman modes of turbostratic graphene. The combination of 4 different laser energies is shown to be important to reveal the twist angles ranging from 5to 30present at the same lateral position of the sample.

Local impurity states arising from atomic vacancies in two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets are predicted to have a profound effect on charge transport due to resonant scattering and can be used to manipulate thermoelectric properties. However, the effects of these impurities are often masked by external fluctuations and turbostratic interfaces; therefore, it is challenging to probe the correlation between vacancy impurities and thermoelectric parameters experimentally. In this work, we demonstrate that n-type molybdenum disulfide (MoS) supported on hexagonal boron nitride (-BN) substrate reveals a large anomalous positive Seebeck coefficient with strong band hybridization.

Layered/two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2D COF) are crystalline porous materials composed of light elements linked by strong covalent bonds. Interlayer force is one of the main factors directing the formation of a stacked layer structure, which plays a vital role in the stability, crystallinity, and porosity of layered COFs. The as-developed new way to modulate the interlayer force of imine-linked 2D TAPB-PDA-COF (TAPB = 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene, PDA = terephthaldehyde) by only adjusting the pH of the solution.

Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) techniques are widely used to characterize the nature of stacking of submicrometer-wide nanometer-thick layers that form layered mineral nanocrystals, but application of these methods to infer the in-plane configuration of the layers is difficult. Line-profile-analysis algorithms based on the Bragg equation cannot describe the broken periodicity in the stacking direction. The Debye scattering equation is an alternative approach, but it is limited by the large-scale atomistic models required to capture the multiscale nature of the layered systems.
