Cover Story: Graphene is known, among others, for its exceptional mechanical properties, including record values of intrinsic strength and elastic modulus. The tuning of its electronic, phononic and other properties via mechanical strain has led to a number of suggested strain engineering applications of graphene over the years. Using first principles methods and atomistic simulations, we quantify the strain dependence of the two-dimensional material’s structural characteristics, i.e., bond lengths and bond angles, when a graphene monolayer is under uniaxial tension. The splitting of the Raman active G mode using strain, for strains extending up to mechanical failure, is also discussed in detail. View this paper
