▪ Abstract Semiconductor nanowires and nanotubes exhibit novel electronic and optical
properties owing to their unique structural one-dimensionality and possible quantum …

Abstract Two‐dimensional (2D) materials have been demonstrated as promising building
blocks in future electronic and their mechanical properties are quite important for various …

Controlling surface structure at the atomic scale is paramount to developing effective
catalysts. For example, the edge sites of MoS2 are highly catalytically active and are thus …

We report on measurements of the stiffness and breaking strength of monolayer MoS2, a
new semiconducting analogue of graphene. Single and bilayer MoS2 is exfoliated from bulk …

This research explores the nonlinear elastic properties of two-dimensional molybdenum
disulfide. We derive a thermodynamically rigorous nonlinear elastic constitutive equation …

First-principles computations were carried out to predict the stability and magnetic and
electronic properties of MoS2 nanoribbons with either zigzag-or armchair-terminated edges …

Many applications of carbon nanotubes require the exfoliation of the nanotubes to give
individual tubes in the liquid phase. This requires the dispersion, exfoliation, and …

Nanowires have attracted considerable interest as nanoscale interconnects and as the
active components of both electronic and electromechanical devices. Nanomechanical …

Silver nanowires with different diameters were synthesized by a hydrothermal chemical
method. The elastic properties of the nanowires with outer diameters ranging from 20 to 140 …

We report the experimental determination of the elastic properties of suspended multilayer
WSe 2, a promising two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting material combined with high …
