Strain distribution in WS2 monolayers detected through Polarization-resolved Second Harmonic Generation

George Kourmoulakis, Sotiris Psilodimitrakopoulos, George Miltos Maragkakis +9

Two-dimensional (2D) graphene and graphene-related materials (GRMs) show great promise for future electronic devices. Nevertheless, GRMs result distinct properties under the influe…

Biaxial Tensile Strain Enhances Electron Mobility of Monolayer Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

Jerry A. Yang, Robert K. A. Bennett, Lauren Hoang +7

Strain engineering can modulate the material properties of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors for electronic and optoelectronic applications. Recent theory and experiments have fo…

Biaxial strain tuning of exciton energy and polarization in monolayer WS2

G. Kourmoulakis, A. Michail, I. Paradisanos +8

We perform micro-photoluminescence and Raman experiments to examine the impact of biaxial tensile strain on the optical properties of WS2 monolayers. A strong shift on the order of…

Optical detection of strain and doping inhomogenieties in single layer MoS2

Antonios Michail, Nick Delikoukos, John Parthenios +2

Van der Waals single-layer materials are characterized by an inherent extremely low bending rigidity and therefore are prone to nanoscale structural modifications due to substrate…

Stress and charge transfer in uniaxially strained CVD graphene

Milan Bousa, George Anagnostopoulos, Elena del Corro +8

Mechanical properties of graphene prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) are not easily comparable to the properties of nearly perfect graphene prepared by mechanical cleavage…

Wrinkled few-layer graphene as highly efficient load bearer

Charalampos Androulidakis, Emmanuel N. Koukaras, Jaroslava Rahova +5

Multilayered graphitic materials are not suitable as load-bearers due to their inherent weak interlayer bonding (for example, graphite is a solid lubricant in certain applications)…
