Abstract 2D materials are promising for strain engineering due to their atomic thickness and
exceptional mechanical properties. In particular, non‐uniform and localized strain can be …

Recent theoretical investigations have well‐predicted strain‐induced nonmonotonic optical
band gap variations in low‐dimensional materials. However, few two‐dimensional (2D) …

A variety of out-of-plane deformation patterns have been observed for two-dimensional (2D)
materials including ripples, wrinkles, buckles, scrolls, folds, tents, and bubbles due to their …

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, such as transition metal dichalcogenides, have
emerged as important candidate materials for next-generation chip-scale optoelectronic …

The peculiar defect‐related photon emission processes in 2D hexagonal boron nitride (hBN)

Multilayer van der Waals (vdW) materials exhibit nontrivial out-of-plane responses and
deformability due to their inherent atomic scale thickness coupled with weak interlayer vdW …

There is a lack of deep understanding of hydrogen intercalation into graphite due to many
challenges faced during characterization of the systems. Therefore, a suitable route to trap …

The local strain-induced indirect-to-direct band gap transition in bulk transition metal
dichalcogenides (TMDCs) holds great potential for optoelectronic applications. The …

Two-dimensional materials provide with ability to control their properties with a number of
methods. One of such methods is using strain and compression. In this work, we …
