We discover a new, curvature-localizing, subcritical buckling mode that produces a shallow-kink configuration in multi-layer graphene. Our density functional theory (DFT) analysis reveals the mode …
The quantum flexoelectric graphene crinkle has gained increasing attention for potential application in a variety of applications. In particular, the DNA adsorption behavior of crinkles …
How nanomaterials interact with biological systems is of fundamental interest to a wide range of applications, including drug delivery, therapeutics, bioimaging, nanotoxicity and regulation. In …
Abstract of Mechanics of 2D Material Thin Films with Applications to Health and Nanofabrication Technologies, by Dong Li, Ph.D., Brown University, May 2021. By virtue …
Two-dimensional (2D) materials exhibit ultra-high strength due to their nearly perfect lattice structures but low fracture toughness due to their lack of effective energy dissipation …
