Stacking can be achieved through various methods, including mechanical exfoliation, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and layer-by-layer assembly. Each technique has its advantages and limitations:
Mechanical Exfoliation: This method involves peeling off layers from bulk materials. It's commonly used for graphene and other 2D materials. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): CVD allows for the growth of high-quality layers over large areas, making it suitable for industrial applications. Layer-by-Layer Assembly: This technique involves depositing layers one at a time, providing precise control over the stacking sequence.
