Tip-enhanced nano-spectroscopy and-imaging have significantly advanced our
understanding of low-dimensional quantum materials and their interactions with light …

The past decade has witnessed the tremendous scientific and technological potential of
nanoscale flexoelectricity in solids. The flexoelectric effect describes the universal …

The low bending stiffness of atomic membranes from van der Waals ferroelectrics such as α-
In2Se3 allow access to a regime of strong coupling between electrical polarization and …

Flexoelectric effect describes the electromechanical coupling between the strain gradient
and its internal polarization in all dielectrics. Despite this universality, the resulting …

We theoretically study the electronic properties of graphene nanoribbon (GNR) superlattices
with an arrangement of nanobubbles. The nanobubbles' strain-induced localized states are …

Abstract 2D materials can easily achieve huge strain gradients because of their atomic
thickness, which is challenging with bulk materials. This characteristic offers a unique …
