The interaction between a graphene layer and a hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) substrate
induces lateral displacements and strains in the graphene layer. The displacements lead to …

Hexagonal boron nitride substrates have been shown to dramatically improve the electric
properties of graphene. Recently, it has been observed that when the two honeycomb …

Electronic properties of graphene can be controlled by using elastic strain. Theories
predicted two major effects of strain, pseudo-magnetic field and spatially-varying Fermi …

Strain can be used as an alternate way to tune the electronic properties of graphene. Here
we demonstrate that it is possible to tune the uniform strain of graphene simply by changing …

We present a tight-binding investigation of strained bilayer graphene within linear elasticity
theory, focusing on the different environments experienced by the A and B carbon atoms of …

Graphene has intrigued the science community by many unique properties not found in
conventional materials. In particular, it is the strongest two-dimensional material ever …

First-principles calculations based on density functional theory are performed on
graphene/BN and BN bilayers to investigate the effect of the strain on their energy gaps. For …

We present a detailed analysis of the effects of uniaxial and biaxial strain on the frequencies
of the G mode of monolayer graphene, using first principles calculations. Our results allow …

Strain engineered graphene has been predicted to show many interesting physics and
device applications. Here we study biaxial compressive strain in graphene/hexagonal boron …

We present the first Raman spectroscopic study of Bernal bilayer graphene flakes under
uniaxial tension. Apart from a purely mechanical behavior in flake regions where both layers …
