Low dimensional materials exhibit distinct properties compared to their bulk counterparts. A
plethora of examples have been demonstrated in two-dimensional (2-D) materials, including …

By analyzing phonon dispersion, we have evaluated the average Young's modulus and
Poisson's ratio in graphite and in graphene grown on Ru (0001), Pt (111), Ir (111), Ni (111) …

We demonstrate a new design of graphene liquid cell consisting of a thin lithographically
patterned hexagonal boron nitride crystal encapsulated on both sides with graphene …

We here report on the direct observation of ferroelectric properties of water ice in its 2D
phase. Upon nanoelectromechanical confinement between two graphene layers, water …

The interaction of graphene with metallic substrates reveals phenomena and properties of
great relevance for applications in nanotechnology. In this article, the vibrational …

Characterization of mechanical properties of thin porous films with nanoscale resolution
remains a challenge for instrumentation science. In this work, atomic force microscopy (AFM) …

The fabrication of arrays of ultra-thin conductive membranes remains a major challenge in
realising large-scale micro/nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS), since …

Profound investigation of the unsurpassed mechanical properties of suspended graphene
motivates the link between classical continuum mechanics (where the notions of …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) layered transition-metal based tellurides (chalcogens) are
known to harness their surface atoms' characteristics to enhance topographical activities for …

With regard to the mechanism of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) excited by deformation
and failure of coal and rock, the present study employed the optical microscope, digital …
