      Wu, Jianyang; Cao, Pinqiang; Zhang, Zhisen; Ning, Fulong; Zheng, Songsheng; He, Jianying; Zhang, Zhiliang (Journal article, 2018)
      Pristine monocrystalline molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) possesses high mechanical strength comparable to that of stainless steel. Large-area chemical-vapor-deposited monolayer MoS2 tends to be polycrystalline with intrinsic ...
    • Role of Five-fold Twin Boundary on the Enhanced Mechanical Properties of fcc Fe Nanowires 

      Wu, Jianyang; Nagao, Shijo; He, Jianying; Zhang, Zhiliang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      The role of 5-fold twin boundary on the structural and mechanical properties of fcc Fe nanowire under tension is explored by classical molecular dynamics. Twin-stabilized fcc nanowire with various diameters (6~24 nm) are ...
