Van der Waals Films

Van der Waals films are extremely thin layers of material that form due to weak attractive forces known as Van der Waals forces. These forces occur between molecules and can lead to the creation of stable, thin films on surfaces. Van der Waals films are significant in various fields, including materials science and nanotechnology, as they can influence properties like adhesion, conductivity, and optical characteristics. Their unique properties make them useful in applications such as coatings, sensors, and electronic devices, where precise control over thickness and uniformity is essential.
