Reversible local strain engineering of using a micro-mechanical spring
Eric Herrmann, Zhixiang Huang, Sai Rahul Sitaram +3
Local strain engineering is a promising technique to tune the properties of two-dimensional materials at the nanoscale. However, many existing methods are static and limit the syst…
