Here we perform nanoindentation experiments in mechanically-deformed two-dimensional materials and present a method to determine their elastic properties

Nanoscale Measurements of Elastic Properties and Hydrostatic Pressure in H2‐Bulged MoS2 Membranes A detailed study of elastic and thermodynamic properties of nanoblisters, made on purpose in MoS2 bulk flakes by means of low‐energy proton irradiation, is provided. An experimental approach, based o...

Creating hydrogen-filled domes made of two-dimensional materials at the nano-/micro-scale :-)

Controlled Micro/Nanodome Formation in Proton‐Irradiated Bulk Transition‐Metal Dichalcogenides Proton irradiation of bulk transition‐metal dichalcogenides leads to the blistering of atomically thin domes filled with hydrogen. The domes stud the crystal surface and locally turn the dark bulk ma...
