Abstract:The rise of straintronics—the possibility of fine-tuning the electronic properties of nanosystems by applying strain to them—has enhanced the interest in characterizing the mechanical properties of these systems when they are subjected to tensile (or compressive), shear and torsion strains. Four parameters are customarily used to describe the mechanical behavior of a macroscopic solid within the elastic regime: Young’s and shear moduli, the torsion constant and Poisson’s ratio. There are some relations among t… Show more
