Most materials exhibit positive Poisson's ratio (PR) values but special structures can also present negative and, even rarer, zero (or close to zero) PR. Null PR structures have received much attention due to their unusual properties and…

A remarkable theoretical prediction for a crystalline (polymerized) surface is that its Poisson ratio (\sigma) is negative. Using a large scale Monte Carlo simulation of a simple model of such surfaces we show that this is indeed true. The…

Anisotropy describes the directional dependence of a material's properties such as transport and optical response. In conventional bulk materials, anisotropy is intrinsically related to the crystal structure, and thus not tunable by the…

This paper is devoted to the exploration of rectangular finite elements' ability to model the stress-strain state of isotropic and orthotropic materials with a negative Poisson's ratio, known as auxetic materials. By employing linear…

The mechanical properties of single-layer black phosphrous under uniaxial deformation are investigated using first-principles calculations. Both Young's modulus and the ultimate strain are found to be highly anisotropic and nonlinear as a…

The negative Poisson`s ratio (NPR) is a novel property of materials, which enhances the mechanical feature and creates a wide range of application prospects in lots of fields, such as aerospace, electronics, medicine, etc. Fundamental…

We study the elastic response of composites of rods embedded in elastic media. We calculate the micro-mechanical response functions, and bulk elastic constants as functions of rod density. We find two fixed points for Poisson's ratio with…

Negative compressibility generated by many-body effects in 2D electronic systems can enhance gate capacitance. We observe capacitance enhancement in a newly emerged 2D layered material, atomically thin black phosphorus (BP). The…

The ability to control forces between sub-micron-scale building blocks offers considerable potential for designing new materials through self-assembly. A typical paradigm is to first identify a particular (crystal) structure that has some…

A recent derivation [P.H. Mott and C.M. Roland, Phys. Rev. B 80, 132104 (2009).] of the bounds on Poisson's ratio, v, for linearly elastic materials showed that the conventional lower limit, -1, is wrong, and that v cannot be less than 0.2…

The mechanical stretchability is the magnitude of strain which a material can suffer before it breaks. Materials with high mechanical stretchability, which can reversibly withstand extreme mechanical deformation and cover arbitrary surfaces…

We experimentally determine the lattice dynamics of black phosphorus layered crystals through a combination of x-ray diffuse scattering and inelastic x-ray scattering, and we rationalize our experimental findings using $\textit{ab initio}$…

The paper studies the modes of vibrations of a lattice with rod-like particles, in a continuum model where the sites of the lattice are the connections among strings and rigid rods. In these structures then, translational and rotational…

Tetrahex-carbon is a recently predicted two dimensional (2D) carbon allotrope which is composed of tetragonal and hexagonal rings. Unlike flat graphene, this new 2D carbon structure is buckled, possesses a direct band gap ~ 2.6 eV and high…

Negative piezoelectrics contract in the direction of applied electric field, which are opposite to normal piezoelectrics and rare in dielectric materials. The raising of low dimensional ferroelectrics, with unconventional mechanisms of…

We analyze the properties of optical cavities contained in spacers with approximate octahedral symmetry and made of different materials,following the design of Webster and Gill (S. Webster, P. Gill, Optics Letters 36(18), 3572 (2011)). We…

Trions and biexcitons in anisotropic two-dimensional materials are investigated within an effective mass theory. Explicit results are obtained for phosphorene and arsenene, materials that share features such as a direct quasi-particle gap…

Elastic properties of soft, three-dimensional dimers, interacting through site-site n-inverse-power potential, are determined by computer simulations at zero temperature. The degenerate crystal of dimers exhibiting (Gaussian) size…

Cork is a natural amorphous material with near-zero Poisson's ratio that is ubiquitously used for sealing glass bottles. It is an anisotropic, transversally isotropic, composite that can hardly be scaled down. Here, we propose a new class…

We report first principle calculations of electronic and mechanical properties of few-layer borophene with the inclusion of interlayer van der Waals (vdW) interaction. The anisotropic metallic behaviors are preserved from monolayer to…
