A thin film at a liquid interface responds to uniaxial confinement by wrinkling and then by folding; its shape and energy have been computed exactly before self contact. Here, we address the mechanics of large folds, i.e. folds that absorb…
The electromagnetic properties of 2D materials are modeled either as single sheets with a surface susceptibility or conductivity, or as thin films of finite thickness with an effective permittivity. Their intrinsic anisotropy, however, has…
