This summer project report summarizes research on the mechanical properties of 2D materials like graphene. The report describes how graphene isolation has led to research on other 2D materials with applications in electronics, sensors, composites and more. It then discusses how mechanical properties of 2D materials are challenging to measure but important, and outlines using graphene as a model to study how atomically thin materials respond to strain. The report involves deterministically transferring graphene onto silicon dioxide and measuring its elastic properties with atomic force microscopy. It also reviews the effect of defects on 2D material mechanics and introduces nano-electromechanical resonator devices using 2D materials.

WORLD OF GRAPHENE
2D Materials are crystalline materials consisting of a single layer of atoms.
Isolation of Graphene has led to a large amount of research on other 2D
materials which due to their unusual characteristics have applications in
electronics and optoelectronics, sensors, biological engineering, filtration,
lightweight/strongcomposite materials, photovoltaics, medicine, quantum dots,
thermal management, ethanol distillation and energy storage.These applications can be acheived by using 2D allotropes of various elements or compounds such as Graphene, Borophene, Silicine, Stanene, etc.
In the past years, the scientific community has expanded beyond the electronic and optical properties to explore the mechanics of 2D layered materials. Mechanical properties are of fundamental importance in materials science and engineering, and have been playing a great role in various materials
applications in the human history. Measurements of mechanical properties
of 2-dimensional (2D) materials, however, are particularly challenging.This
can be resolved by considering graphene as a model for other materials since
isolation of graphene is easier.
Questions such as how atomically thin materials respond to mechanical
strain on a nanoscale have been studied in static deformation experiments.
The 2D materials have been shown to have large Youngs modulus, low residual stress and spectacularly large breaking strength.
In this report, we first perform an all-dry deterministic transfer of graphene
on SiO2 . Then we measure the elastic properties of graphene using atomic
force microscopy through the nanoindentation technique. Then we review
the effect of defects on mechanical properties of 2D materials, including
studies on naturally defective chemical-vapor-deposited and intentionally defective 2D materials. Lastly, we introduce a nano-electromechanical device,
resonators, built on the basis of the excellent mechanical properties of 2D
materials.
