Computational design of two-dimensional GeP based flexible strain sensor: Distinct J-V response

Hui Zeng et al.

Summary: Using density functional theory and non-equilibrium Green's function, the transport properties of strained two-dimensional GeP semiconductor were studied. The GeP monolayer was found to be highly flexible, allowing for strain engineering. The calculations showed a 50% increase in current density with +4% tensile strain, and the threshold voltage could be substantially reduced by using graphene electrodes. A flexible sensor device based on 2D GeP was designed to respond to tensile strain with significant current variation, providing potential practical applications.

Intrinsically Honeycomb-Patterned Hydrogenated Graphene

Yang Song et al.

Summary: This study reports the successful synthesis of an intrinsically honeycomb-patterned form of hydrogenated graphene on Ru(0001) using epitaxial growth followed by hydrogenation. Combining scanning tunneling microscopy observations with density-functional-theory (DFT) calculations, it was revealed that an atomic-hydrogen layer intercalates between graphene and Ru(0001), resulting in a hydrogen honeycomb structure that serves as a template for the final hydrogenation, yielding honeycomb-patterned hydrogenated graphene (HPHG). This growth mechanism provides a new pathway for the fabrication of intrinsically patterned graphene-based materials.
