Triggered by the growing needs of developing semiconductor devices at ever‐decreasing
scales, strain engineering of 2D materials has recently seen a surge of interest. The goal of …

Spatially confined rigid membranes reorganize their morphology in response to imposed
constraints. Slight compression of a rigid membrane resting on a soft foundation creates a …

Three-dimensional surface-conformable electronics is a burgeoning technology with
potential applications in curved displays, bioelectronics, and biomimetics. Flexible …

The nonlinear mechanical response of monolayer graphene on polyethylene terephthalate
(PET) is characterised using in‐situ Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy …

Compressing a thin elastic film attached to a thick compliant substrate can lead to buckling
instability. Two commonly observed buckling modes, buckle-delamination and wrinkling …

Wrinkle networks are ubiquitous buckle-induced delaminations in supported graphene,
which locally modify the electronic structure and degrade device performance. Although the …

Nonlinear buckling of elastic thin films on compliant substrates is studied by modeling and
simulations to reveal the roles of pre-strain, elastic modulus ratio, and interfacial properties …

Microscale tents, formed when transferring two-dimensional (2D) materials over
nanoparticles or nanopillars, or when indenting a suspended 2D material drumhead with an …

We consider the form of an elastic loop adhered to a rigid substrate: the 'Sticky Elastica'. In
contrast to previous studies of the shape of delamination 'blisters', the theory developed …

Localised emission from defect states in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides is of
great interest for optoelectronic and quantum device applications. Recent progress towards …
