Polytype switching by super-lubricant van der Waals cavity arrays
Nature, Published online: 05 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41586-024-08380-2By etching cavities into a thin lubricant spacer and encapsulating it with functional flakes, electric and mechanical switching of single-crystal, van der Waals stacking configurations is demonstrated.
