Triggered by the growing needs of develo** semiconductor devices at ever‐decreasing
scales, strain engineering of 2D materials has recently seen a surge of interest. The goal of …

Since the first successful synthesis of graphene just over a decade ago, a variety of two-
dimensional (2D) materials (eg, transition metal-dichalcogenides, hexagonal boron-nitride …

Many of the properties of graphene are tied to its lattice structure, allowing for tuning of
charge carrier dynamics through mechanical strain. The graphene electromechanical …

Nanoblisters such as nanobubbles and nanotents formed by two-dimensional (2D) materials
have been extensively exploited for strain engineering purposes as they can produce self …

The discovery of correlated phases in twisted moiré superlattices accelerated the search for
low-dimensional materials with exotic properties. A promising approach uses engineered …

We study CP 2 skyrmion crystals in the ferromagnetic SU (3) Heisenberg model with a
generalization of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and the Zeeman term. The model …

In this work we consider bubbles that can form spontaneously when a two-dimensional (2D)
crystal is transferred to a substrate with gases or liquids trapped at the crystal–substrate …

We report a rectangular charge density wave (CDW) phase in strained 1 T-VS e 2 thin films
synthesized by molecular beam epitaxy on c-sapphire substrates. The observed CDW …

Strain can tune desirable electronic behavior in graphene, but there has been limited
progress in controlling strain in graphene devices. In this paper, we study the mechanical …

We present an approach that allows for the preparation of well-defined large arrays of
graphene wrinkles with predictable geometry. Chemical vapor deposition grown graphene …
