The mechanical behavior of high quality two-dimensional (2D) crystals offers exciting opportunities for new material design, such as the combination of extremely high in-plane …
Gold-assisted mechanical exfoliation currently represents a promising method to separate ultralarge (centimeter scale) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers (1L) with …
Recently, the research effort on two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides/graphene (2D-TMDs/Gr) hybrids has grown. These hybrids are emerging as a promising strategy for …
As a basic mechanical parameter, Poisson's ratio (ν) measures the mechanical responses of solids against external loads. In rare cases, materials have a negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) …
The deformation of monolayer graphene, produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), on a polyester film substrate has been investigated through the use of Raman spectroscopy. It …
Graphite has been widely used by humans for a large part of their history. Nevertheless, it has only recently been possible to isolate its basic unit: carbon atoms arranged in a …
The ability to tune ionic permeation across nanoscale pores profoundly impacts diverse fields from nanofluidic computing to drug delivery. Here, we take advantage of complex …
