Breaking new ground in mica exfoliation: Harnessing biaxial straining principles through H2 and N2 intercalation for enhanced layer separation

This study introduces a novel method for mica exfoliation using biaxial straining principles through H2 and N2 intercalation. Our two-stage approach combines microwave irradiation with biaxial straining triggered by H2 and N2. Our first principles simulations showed that N2 leads to a larger drop in...
