Intrinsic and extrinsic disorder from lattice imperfections, substrate and environment has a strong effect on the local electronic structure and hence the optical properties of atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides that are…
We perform classic molecular dynamics simulations to comparatively investigate the mechanical properties of single-layer MoS2 and a graphene/MoS2/graphene heterostructure under uniaxial tension. We show that the lattice mismatch between…
Using molecular dynamics based on Langevin equations with a coordinate- and velocity-dependent damping coefficient, we study the frictional properties of a thin layer of "soft" lubricant (where the interaction within the lubricant is weaker…
Using a blister test, we measured the work of separation between MoS$_2$ membranes from metal, semiconductor, and graphite substrates. We found a work of separation ranging from 0.11 +- 0.05 J/m^2 for chromium to 0.39 +- 0.1 J/m^2 for…
The advantage of MoS2, compared with graphene, is the direct growth on various oxide substrates by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) without utilizing catalytic metal substrates, which facilitates practical applications for electronics. The…
We use classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the mechanical properties of pre-cracked, nano-porous single layer MoS2 (SLMoS2) and the effect of interactions between cracks and pores. We found that the failure of…
Large-scale atomistic simulations using the reactive empirical bond order force field approach is implemented to investigate thermal and mechanical properties of single-layer (SL) and multi-layer (ML) molybdenum disulfide (MoS$_2$). The…
Sliding of two-dimensional materials is critical for their application as solid lubricants for space, and also relevant for strain engineering and device fabrication. Dopants such as Ni surprisingly improve lubrication in MoS$_2$, despite…
A set of Mo/Si periodic multilayers is studied by non destructive analysis methods. The thickness of the Si layers is 5 nm while the thickness of the Mo layers changes from one multilayer to another, from 2 to 4 nm. This enables us to probe…
Hydrocarbon films confined between smooth mica surfaces have long provided an experimental playground for model studies of structure and dynamics of confined liquids. However fundamental questions regarding the phase behavior and shear…
The band structures of single-layer MoS$_2$ and WS$_2$ present a coupling between spin and valley degrees of freedom that suppresses spin-flip scattering and spin dephasing. Here we show that out-of-plane deformations, such as corrugations…
We report on the frictional properties of a single contact between a glassy polymer lens and a flat silica substrate covered either by a disordered or by a self-assembled alkylsilane monolayer. We find that, in contrast to common belief,…
We conducted lateral force microscopy measurements on seven [LaMnO$_{3}$]$_{m}$/[SrMnO$_{3}$]$_{n}$ superlattices with varied layer thicknesses. We observe that the friction forces and the friction coefficients initially increase with…
Recent studies have pointed out the importance of the basal friction on the dynamics of granular flows. We present experimental results on the influence of the roughness of the inclined plane on the dynamics of a monodisperse dry granular…
Micromechanically exfoliated mono- and multilayers of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) are investigated by spectroscopic imaging ellipsometry. In combination with knife edge illumination, MoS2 flakes can be detected and classified on arbitrary…
In this study, we employed lateral force microscopy, a specialized technique within atomic force microscopy, to explore the nanoscale frictional properties of 2D SnSe and SnSe$_2$ layers, and we compared these findings with graphene, a…
When adhesive elastomeric materials slide over hard rough surfaces at low velocities, there are two primary dissipative mechanisms that control how friction changes with sliding velocity: viscoelastic dissipation and adhesive dissipation.…
We present measurements of temperature dependence of photoluminescence intensity from monolayer MoS2 encapsulated by hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) flakes. The obtained temperature dependence shows an opposite trend to that of previously…
This study numerically investigated the friction of viscoelastic objects with grooves. A 3D viscoelastic block with grooves on a rigid substrate is slowly pushed from the lateral side under uniform pressure on the top surface. The local…
The contact mechanics of individual, very small particles with other particles and walls is studied using a nanoindenter setup that allows normal and lateral displacement control and measurement of the respective forces. The sliding,…
