A Review on Mechanics and Mechanical Properties of 2D Materials - Graphene and Beyond
Deji Akinwande, Christopher J. Brennan, J. Scott Bunch +17
Since the first successful synthesis of graphene just over a decade ago, a variety of two-dimensional (2D) materials (e.g., transition metal-dichalcogenides, hexagonal boron-nitrid…
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…
