Table of contents
2nd Funding Period
Wrinkle-Based Strain Engineering of 2D Materials
The project will deepen mechanical characterization of synthetic 2DMs and – building on this understanding of deformation processes – focus on strain engineering of (opto)electronic properties of 2DMs and take first steps towards generalizing for catalytic functionality.
1st Funding Period
Wrinkling Metrology and Strain Engineering of 2D Materials
The project will establish a wrinkling based metrology as method for quantifying mechanical properties of synthetic 2DMs. The periodicity of wrinkles formed by substrate-supported 2D layers can be directly related to their mechanical properties if the materials thickness and elastic properties if the materials thickness and elastic properties of the substrate are known. In this context, the project will aim at investigating single- and few-layer synthetic 2DMs with special attention to understanding the effect of interlayer coupling on mechanics. Moreover, the coupling between mechanical properties and optoelectronics will be targeted by establishing setups for in-situ characterization of strain-induced changes in band-structure.
