In this study, we report the mechanical properties and fracture mechanism of pre-cracked and defected InSe nanosheet samples using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We noticed that the failure of pre-cracked and defected InSe nanosheet…

The possibility of tailoring the critical strain of 2D materials will be crucial for the fabrication of flexible devices. In this paper, the fracture in polycrystalline MoS2 films with two different grain orientations is studied at the…

Among two-dimensional (2D) materials, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) stand out for their remarkable electronic, optical, and chemical properties. In addition to being variable bandgap semiconductor materials, the atomic thinness…

In this study, we systematically investigated the mechanical responses of monolayer molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The tensile behavior of trigonal prismatic phase (2H phase) MoTe2 under uniaxial…

Transition metal dichalcogenides are 2D structures with remarkable electronic, chemical, optical and mechanical properties. Monolayer and crystal properties of these structures have been extensively investigated, but a detailed…

Dislocations govern the properties of any crystals. Yet, how dislocation of pentagonheptagon (5|7) in grain boundaries (GBs) affects the mechanical properties of two-dimensional MoS2 crystals remains poorly known. Using atomistic…

We experimentally study the surface roughness and the lateral friction force in single-layer MoS2 crystals deposited on different substrates: SiO2, mica and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). Roughness and sliding friction measurements are…

We derive, from an empirical interaction potential, an analytic formula for the elastic bending modulus of single-layer MoS2 (SLMoS2). By using this approach, we do not need to define or estimate a thickness value for SLMoS2, which is…

The remarkable properties of layered materials such as MoS2 strongly depend on their dimensionality. Beyond manipulating their dimensions, it has been predicted that the electronic properties of MoS2 can also be tailored by carefully…

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…

Graphene and some graphene like two dimensional materials; hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and silicene have unique mechanical properties which severely limit the suitability of conventional theories used for common brittle and ductile…

We carried out fully-atomistic reactive molecular dynamics simulations to study the elastic properties and fracture patterns of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) MoX2 (X=S, Se, Te) membranes, in their 2H and 1T phases, within the…

Nanostructured electrodes with voids or interconnected pores accommodate large volume changes, shorten ion diffusion pathways, and enhance the structural reversibility of alloying electrodes. While these nanoporous features improve the…

Composites with high strength and high fracture resistance are desirable for structural and protective applications. Most composites, however, suffer from poor damage tolerance and are prone to unpredictable fractures. Understanding the…

Amorphous silica ($a-SiO_2$) is a widely used inorganic material. Interestingly, the relationship between the local atomic structures of $a-SiO_2$ and their effects on ductility and fracture is seldom explored. Here, we combine large-scale…

The structure of LiMoS2 has been experimentally determined for the first time. The approach of atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis was used because of the lack of well defined Bragg peaks due to the short structural coherence…

The wear behavior of two amorphous and polycrystalline forms of MoS2 prepared by magnetron sputtering has been characterized in a combined nanoindentation and atomic force microscopy study. From the analysis of the depth and width of wear…

Brittle fracturing of materials is common in natural and industrial processes over a variety of length scales. Knowledge of individual particle dynamics is vital to obtain deeper insight into the atomistic processes governing crack…

We performed atomic and electron dynamics analysis to study the impact of morphological and thickness changes of a MoS2 system on its tribological properties through a diamond tip. We had considered 4 cases: variable layers (1-4 layers) and…

Silicene is an intriguing silicon allotrope with a honeycomb lattice structure similar to graphene with slightly buckled geometry. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), on the other hand, is a significant 2D transition metal dichalcogenide that has…
