Since the first successful synthesis of graphene just over a decade ago, a variety of two-
dimensional (2D) materials (eg, transition metal-dichalcogenides, hexagonal boron-nitride …

The analysis of the electronic properties of strained or lattice deformed graphene combines
ideas from classical condensed matter physics, soft matter, and geometrical aspects of …

Trapped substances between a two-dimensional (2D) crystal and an atomically flat substrate
lead to the formation of bubbles. Their size, shape and internal pressure are determined by …

Free-standing graphene is inherently crumpled in the out-of-plane direction due to dynamic
flexural phonons and static wrinkling. We explore the consequences of this crumpling on the …

Graphene and its associated nanostructures (GANS) have been widely investigated by
means of experimental and numerical approaches over the last decade. GANS and GANS …

Graphene is the stiffest material known so far but, due to its one-atom thickness, it is also
very bendable. Consequently, free-standing graphene exhibit ripples that has major effects …

Carbon-based nanostructures are receiving increasing attention over the past two decades
due to their unprecedented multi-functional features. However, the macro-scale structural …

In this work we have carried out a complete set of large scale density functional theory
simulations to characterize the magnetic and mechanical properties of graphene as a …

Graphene is regarded as the toughest two-dimensional material (highest in-plane elastic
properties) and, as a consequence, it has been employed/proposed as an ultrathin …

This paper investigates the effect of hydroxyl groups on elastic properties of graphene oxide
(GO) and its composites. A strain-dependent pseudo crease model considering the effects of …
