We propose a geometrically and physically nonlinear discrete mechanical model of graphene that assigns an energetic cost to changes in bond lengths, bond angles, and dihedral angles. We formulate a variational equilibrium problem for a…
Twisted graphene multilayers provide tunable platforms to engineer flat bands and exploit the associated strongly correlated physics. The two-dimensional nature of these systems makes them suitable for encapsulation by materials that break…
Most recently, a brand new phosphorus allotrope called green phosphorus has been predicted, which has a direct band gap up to 2.4 eV, and its single-layer form termed green phosphorene shows high stability. Here the mechanical properties…
The extremely high thermal conductivity of graphene has received great attention both in experiments and calculations. Obviously, new feature in thermal properties is of primary importance for application of graphene-based materials in…
We present ab initio calculations on the effect of in-plane equi-biaxial strain on the structural and electronic properties of hypothetical graphene-like GaN monolayer (ML-GaN). It was found that ML-GaN got buckled for compressive strain in…
Anisotropic electronic transport is a possible route towards nanoscale circuitry design, particularly in two-dimensional materials. Proposals to introduce such a feature in patterned graphene have to date relied on large-scale structural…
Micromechanical modeling and mechanical properties of polyurethane (PU) hybrid nanocomposite foams with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were investigated by mean of tensile strength, hardness, impact…
Uniaxial strain is known to modify significantly the electronic properties of graphene, a carbon single layer of atomic width. Here, we study the effect of applied strain on the composite excitations arising from the coupling of charge…
This work develops a unified framework for inferring, representing, and statistically characterizing an anisotropic strength surface directly from molecular dynamics data. Large-scale tensile loading simulations are used to generate failure…
Graphene is an atomically thin metallic membrane capable of sustaining reversible strain and offers a tempting prospect of controlling its optoelectronic properties via strain. Graphenes exceptional mechanical flexibility and tensile…
Two-dimensional materials and their mechanical properties are known to be profoundly affected by rippling deformations. However, although ripples are fairly well understood, less is known about their origin and controlled modification.…
Nanoscrolls, radial superlattices formed by rolling up a nanomembrane, exhibit distinct electronic and magneto-transport properties compared to their flat counterparts. In this study, we theoretically demonstrate that the conductance can be…
Zigzag edges of the honeycomb structure of graphene exhibit magnetic polarization making them attractive as building blocks for spintronic devices. Here, we show that devices with zigzag edged triangular antidots perform essential…
We report measurements of the effects of a random vector potential generated by applying an in-plane magnetic field to a graphene flake. Magnetic flux through the ripples cause orbital effects: phase-coherent weak localization is…
Graphene, the first true two-dimensional material still reveals the most remarkable transport properties among the growing class of two-dimensional materials. Although many studies have investigated fundamental scattering processes, the…
Twisted graphene bilayers develop highly localised states around AA-stacked regions for small twist angles. We show that interaction effects may induce either an antiferromagnetic (AF) and a ferromagnetic (F) polarization of said regions,…
We studied the magneto-transport properties of graphene prepared by exfoliation on a III V semiconductor substrate. Tuneability of the carrier density of graphene was achieved by using a doped GaAs substrate as a back-gate. A GaAs/AlAs…
For many important applications, the performance of polymer-anisotropic particle nanocomposite materials strongly depends on the orientation of the nanoparticles. Using the very peculiar magnetic properties of goethite ({\alpha}-FeOOH)…
Despite a century of use, the mechanism of nanoparticle-driven mechanical reinforcement of elastomers is unresolved. A major hypothesis attributes it to glassy interparticle bridges, supported by an observed inversion of the variation of…
Graphene possesses unique features that make it attractive for nanotechnology. Functional devices often require combination of several materials with specific functions, and graphene-polymer composites are one of them. Herein, we report on…
