Selection rules of twistronic angles in 2D material flakes via dislocation theory
Shuze Zhu, Emil Annevelink, Pascal Pochet +1
Interlayer rotation angle couples strongly to the electronic states of twisted van der Waals layers. However, not every angle is energetically favorable. Recent experiments on rota…
Strain-induced programmable half-metal and spin-gapless semiconductor in an edge-doped boron nitride nanoribbon
Shuze Zhu, Teng Li
The search for half-metals and spin-gapless semiconductors has attracted extensive attention in material design for spintronics. Existing progress in such a search often requires p…
Programmable Extreme Pseudomagnetic Fields in Graphene by a Uniaxial Stretch
Shuze Zhu, Joseph A. Stroscio, Teng Li
Many of the properties of graphene are tied to its lattice structure, allowing for tuning of charge carrier dynamics through mechanical strain. The graphene electro-mechanical coup…
Mechanical Control of Graphene on Engineered Pyramidal Strain Arrays
Stephen T. Gill, John H. Hinnefeld, Shuze Zhu +3
Strain can tune desirable electronic behavior in graphene, but there has been limited progress in controlling strain in graphene devices. In this paper, we study the mechanical res…
Pseudomagnetic Fields in a Locally Strained Graphene Drumhead
Shuze Zhu, Yinjun Huang, Nikolai K. Klimov +5
Recent experiments reveal that a scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) probe tip can generate a highly localized strain field in a graphene drumhead, which in turn leads to pseudomag…
Reversible mechanical and electrical properties of ripped graphene
J. Henry Hinnefeld, Stephen T. Gill, Shuze Zhu +3
We examine the mechanical properties of graphene devices stretched on flexible elastomer substrates. Using atomic force microscopy, transport measurements, and mechanics simulation…
Effects of surface compliance and relaxation on the frictional properties of lamellar materials
Alex Smolyanitsky, Shuze Zhu, Zhao Deng +2
We describe the results of atomic-level stick-slip friction measurements performed on chemically-modified graphite, using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Through detailed molecular…
