Van Der Waals Theory

Van Der Waals Theory

Precision experiments reveal gaps in van der Waals theory. Scientists have used single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements to establish the electron density of TiS2. Given the broad range of applications for 2-D materials, this fundamental understanding is expected to have a wide-reaching influence on their uses, such as in topological insulators, electrode materials, catalysts, and charge-density-wave materials.
