Abstract 2D van der Waals chalcogenides such as topological insulators and transition-metal dichalcogenides and their heterostructures are now at the forefront of semiconductor research. In this paper, we discuss the fundamental features and advantages of van der Waals bonded superlattices over conventional superlattices made of 3D materials and describe in more detail one practical example, namely, interfacial phase change memory based on GeTe–Sb2Te3 superlattice structures.

ABSTRACTThe thermoelectric properties of bismuth telluride based thermoelectric (TE) materials are well-characterized, but comparatively little has been published on the mechanical and thermomechanical properties of these materials. In this paper, we present the initial dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) data for n-type and p-type bismuth telluride based TE materials. The materials' tan δ values, indicative of viscoelastic energy dissipation modes, approach that of glassy or crystalline polymers and are greater than ten times the tan delta of structural metals. TE samples measured perpendicular to the van der Waals planes have higher tan δ values. Thermal scans in the DMA compressive mode showed changes in mechanical properties versus temperature with clear hysteresis effects. These changes were correlated to differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermal transitions. The expected anisotropy was shown in flexural 3-point bending results for one n-type material that showed a storage modulus of 0.10 to 0.45 GPa in the direction parallel to the van der Waals planes and 0.07 to 0.2 GPa in the perpendicular direction.

Mechanical properties of Bi2Te3 2D nanosheets (5–14 QLs) were investigated and the Young's modulus (18.7 ± 7.0 GPa) was found to be much less than that of bulk Bi2Te3.
