Various two-dimensional (2D) materials with graphene-like buckled structure emerge, and the $\beta$-phase AsP monolayer has been recently proposed to be thermodynamically stable from first-principles calculations. The studies of thermal…
Localized residual stress and elastic strain concentrations in microelectronic devices often affect the electronic performance, resistance to thermomechanical damage, and, likely, radiation tolerance. A primary challenge for…
Materials with negative Poisson ratio have the counter-intuitive property of expanding laterally when they are stretched longitudinally. They are accordingly termed auxetic, from the Greek auxesis meaning to increase. Experimental studies…
