Straintronics of two-dimensional (2D) materials offers enormous promise for both
fundamental research and smart technologies. Strain engineering of 2D materials has …

The variegated family of two-dimensional (2D) crystals has developed rapidly since the
isolation of its forerunner: Graphene. Their plane-confined nature is typically associated with …

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is widely used as a protective layer for few-atom-thick
crystals and heterostructures (HSs), and it hosts quantum emitters working up to room …

ABSTRACT Two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is one of the most
promising materials for many technological applications ranging from optics to electronics. In …

This review explores the growing interest in 2D layered materials, such as graphene, h‐BN,
transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and black phosphorus (BP), with a specific focus …

We demonstrate a technique to strain two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and
graphene by depositing stressed thin films to encapsulate exfoliated flakes. We choose …

Thanks to their intrinsic properties, multifunctionality and unique geometrical features, two-
dimensional nanomaterials have been used widely as reinforcements in polymer …

Flat membranes ubiquitously transform into mysterious complex shapes in nature and
artificial worlds. Behind the complexity, clear determinative deformation modes have been …

Optical inspection is a rapid and non‐destructive method for characterizing the properties of
two‐dimensional (2D) materials. With the aid of optical inspection, in situ and scalable …
