The term #superlattices is universally incorrect. First it is "superstructures" as "lattices" refers to points not atoms.Lattice describes concept of periodicity not structure. Even worse the lattice in this case is a SUBLATTICE!

Atoms are 3dimensional. So it is not possible to have a 2d crystal. The periodicity i.e. lattice however may be 2d so that the crystal symmetry is given by a subperiodic layer group.

How do you distort a lattice?

I truly value working with fantastic collaborators (and reviewers). After such a looooooong journey.

We summarized the newly published findings and some pieces behind the paper.
