As mechanical structures enter the nanoscale regime, the influence of van der Waals forces
increases. Graphene is attractive for nanomechanical systems, because its Young's …

The energy band structure of graphene has two inequivalent valleys at the K and K′ points
of the Brillouin zone. The possibility to manipulate this valley degree of freedom defines the …

The technical breakthrough in synthesizing graphene by chemical vapor deposition
methods (CVD) has opened up enormous opportunities for large-scale device applications …

The interaction of graphene with neighboring materials and structures plays an important
role in its behavior, both scientifically and technologically. The interactions are complicated …

Herein we combine cell sheet technology and electrospun scaffolding to rapidly generate
circumferentially aligned tubular constructs of human aortic smooth muscles cells with …

Based on a continuum mechanical model for single-layer graphene, we propose and
analyze a microscopic mechanism for dissipation in nanoelectromechanical graphene …

We present a simple analytical approach to study anharmonic effects in single-layer, bilayer,
and multilayer graphene. The coupling between in-plane and out-of-plane modes leads to …

We created graphene blisters that cover and seal an annular cylinder-shaped microcavity in
a SiO2 substrate filled with a gas. By controlling the pressure difference between the gas …

Out of plane vibrations are suppressed in graphene layers placed on a substrate. These
vibrations, in suspended samples, are relevant for the understanding of properties such as …

Heterostructures based on atomic monolayers are emerging as leading materials for future
energy efficient and multifunctional electronics. Due to the single atom thickness of …
