This study presents innovative nested-isotropic lattices for additive manufacturing, drawing inspiration from bio-architectures found in cortical bone osteons, golden spirals, and fractals. These lattices provide tunable anisotropy by…
The mechanical properties of amorphous solids like metallic glasses can be dramatically changed by adding small concentrations (as low as 0.1\%) of foreign elements. The glass-forming-ability, the ductility, the yield stress and the elastic…
Recent experimental advances for the fabrication of various borophene sheets introduced new structures with a wide prospect of applications. Borophene is the boron atoms analogue of graphene. Borophene exhibits various structural polymorphs…
The mechanical properties of a solid, which relate its deformation to external applied forces, are key factors in enabling or disabling the use of an otherwise optimal material in any application, strongly influencing also its service…
Twisted assemblies of filaments in ropes, cables and bundles are essential structural elements in wide use in macroscopic materials as well as within the cells and tissues of living organisms. We develop the unique, non-linear elastic…
The sticking of a soft polystyrene colloidal particle to a planar glass plate was studied by a microrheological technique using an optical tweezer to trap the particle and a piezoelectric-stage to position the plate and to sinusoidally…
Twisted bilayers of two-dimensional materials, such as twisted bilayer graphene, often feature flat electronic bands that enable the observation of electron correlation effects. In this work, we study the electronic structure of twisted…
Magnetization of soft-ferromagnetic nano- and microtubes of nanometer-thin walls (a single-widening rolled-up nanomembranes) is theoretically studied using analytical and numerical approaches including different stress-induced anisotropies.…
The crystal structure of potassium doped picene with an exact stoichiometry (K3C22H14, K3picene from here onwards) has been theoretically determined within Density Functional Theory allowing complete variational freedom of the crystal…
The creation of moir\'e superlattices in twisted bilayers of two-dimensional crystals has been utilised to engineer quantum material properties in graphene and transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) semiconductors. Here, we examine the…
Certain lattices with specific geometries have one or more spectral bands that are strictly flat, i.e. the electron energy is independent of the momentum. This can occur robustly irrespective of the specific couplings between the lattices…
Graphene, one of the strongest materials ever discovered, triggered the exploration of many 2D materials in the last decade. However, the successful synthesis of a stable nanomaterial requires a rudimentary understanding of the relationship…
We have examined theoretically the spontaneous thinning process of tip-suspended nanowires, and subsequently studied the structure and stability of the monatomic gold wires recently observed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The…
The structure and motion of carbon and h-BN nanotubes (NTs) deposited on graphene is inquired theoretically by simulations based on state-of-the-art interatomic force fields. Results show that any typical cylinder-over-surface approximation…
Much attention has been given recently to flexible and wearable integrated-electronic devices, with a strong emphasis on real-time sensing, computing and communication technologies. Thin ferroelectric films exhibit switchable polarization…
Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) are one of the most studied two-dimensional materials in the last 5-10 years due to their extremely interesting layer dependent properties. Despite the presence of vast research work on TMDs, the…
Thanks to the compact design and multi-functional light-manipulation capabilities, reconfigurable metalenses, which consist of arrays of sub-wavelength meta-atoms, offer unique opportunities for advanced optical systems, from microscopy to…
Metal organic frameworks are porous materials composed of metal ions or clusters coordinated by organic molecules. As a response to applied uniaxial pressure, molecules of straight shape in the framework start to buckle. Under sufficiently…
The discovery of correlated phases in twisted moir\'e superlattices accelerated the search for low-dimensional materials with exotic properties. A promising approach uses engineered substrates to strain the material. However, designing…
Halide perovskites have been extensively studied owing to their excellent optoelectronic properties and their unique lattice characteristics, that are very soft and anharmonic. Recent studies indicate the importance of a deep understanding…
