Engineered Strain in 2D Materials by Direct Growth on Deterministically Patterned Grayscale Topographies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Strain is a proven technique for modifying the bandgap and enhancing carrier mobility in 2D materials. Most current strain engineering techniques rely on the post‐growth transfer of these atomically thin materials from growth substrates to target surfaces, limiting their integration into nanoelectronics.
