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 …

Discovery of graphene and its astonishing properties have given birth to a new class of
materials known as “2D materials”. Motivated by the success of graphene, alternative …

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 nonlinear mechanical response of monolayer graphene on polyethylene terephthalate
(PET) is characterised using in‐situ Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy …

We investigated the mechanical properties of graphyne monolayers using first-principles
calculations based on the Density Functional Theory. Graphyne has a relatively low in-plane …

Graphene oxide is promising as a plate-like giant molecular building block for the assembly
of new carbon materials. Its water dispersibility, liquid crystallinity, and ease of reduction …

The mechanical stabilities of planar (g) and low-buckled (b) honeycomb monolayer
structures of silicon under various large strains are investigated using density functional …

Highly crystalline thin films of MoS 2 were prepared over large area by pulsed laser
deposition down to a single monolayer on Al 2 O 3 (0001), GaN (0001), and SiC-6H (0001) …

Interfacial adhesion between graphene and a SiO 2 substrate is studied by density
functional theory (DFT) with dispersion corrections. The results demonstrate the van der …

Electrical conductivity is one of several outstanding features of graphene–polymer
nanocomposites, but calculations of this property require the intricate features of the …
