• Supergiant elasticity and fracture of 3D spirally wound MoS2 

      Wu, Jianyang; He, Jianying; Ariza, Pilar; Ortiz, Michael; Zhang, Zhiliang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Recently experimentally synthesized three-dimensional (3D) MoS2 spiral is a new kind of helical structure with technically robust properties. Among them, the mechanical properties of such appealing materials are indispensable ...
    • Topology and polarity of dislocation cores dictate the strength of monolayer MoS2 

      Wu, Jianyang; Zhang, Zhisen; He, Jianying; Ariza, Pilar; Ortiz, Michael; Zhang, Zhiliang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      In contrast to homoelemental graphene showing common dislocation dipole with pentagon-heptagon (5|7) core, heteroelemental MoS2 is observed to contain diverse dislocation cores that tune the chemical and physical properties. ...
