Description
The application of strain in 2D materials serves as a powerful tool, not only for the precise tailoring of material properties to meet specific application demands and driving the development of cutting-edge technologies but also for the advancement of our comprehension of fundamental scientific principles. It unveils the complex interplay and interdependence between material structures and physical properties, often shedding light on the intricate, underlying mechanisms that govern their behavior.
During this presentation, I will provide a series of illustrative examples where we employ Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, using Quantum Espresso, to understand the impact of strain in 2D materials. Through these examples, we will uncover the subtleties and intricacies of how strain influences these materials at a fundamental level. Following this exploration, we will engage in a thoughtful discussion of the practical implications of these theoretical insights, highlighting their relevance and potential impact on experimental implementation, thereby bridging the theoretical and practical aspects of strain engineering in 2D materials.
