| Abstract Scope |
Strain engineering has been a prominent factor in industrial CMOS production since early 2000’s. Many of the same concepts that drove this industry can be applied to 2D van der Waals materials to engineer new quantum materials. 2D materials display many fascinating properties that arise from the confinement of electrons within their layers and how this confinement is strongly correlated with the periodicity of atoms and inter-layer interactions. This offers additional opportunities to manipulate atomic configurations and form with unique stacking that control overall properties of 2D materials. In particular, the change of properties due to applied mechanical strain provides a mechanism for tunable electronic and optical properties. We present experimental and simulation results that explore the link between the structure and properties of 2D metal dichalcogenides and multilayer graphene thin films and demonstrate successful applications of strain engineering and twistronic techniques in these thin films. |
