Until now, only two intrinsically two-dimensional materials have been isolated: graphene and boron nitride (BN). As a consequence, the knowledge of two-dimensional systems is still limited and other classes of two-dimensional materials are needed to enrich ...
We report on measurements of the stiffness and breaking strength of monolayer MoS2, a new semiconducting analogue of graphene. Single and bilayer MoS2 is exfoliated from bulk and transferred to a substrate containing an array of microfabricated circular ho ...
