Special Issue: 2D Materials.

The research on mechanics and electromechanics of 2D materials has revealed several important fundamental findings including those associated with lubricity at interfaces of vdW materials; Nanoelectromechanical systems of 2D materials and nanotubes, resonant actuators and torque oscillators were pioneered and studied in depth. 2D layered materials are characterized by an intrinsic anisotropy of properties - all chemical bonds are saturated within the molecular layer and weak van der Waals (vdW) interactions take place in the direction orthogonal to the layer. This includes the structure of folded nanotubes and nanocages, the electronic structure of metal-semiconductor interfaces and device simulations from ensemble and quantum mechanical Green's function perspective, as well as semiclassical and time dependent model Hamiltonian propagators.
