| Abstract: | Graphene can be made auxetic through the introduction of vacancy defects. This results in the thinnest negative Poisson's ratio material at ambient conditions known so far, an effect achieved via a nanoscale de-wrinkling mechanism that mimics the behavior at the macroscale exhibited by a crumpled sheet of paper when stretched. |
| Description: | This work was funded by the Malta Council for Science and Technology through the R&I-2012–061 Project (SMESH). This research was also supported in part by PL-Grid Infrastructure. The authors gratefully acknowledge the TASK Academic Computer Centre in Gdansk (CI TASK) and Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PCSS) for providing the computer time and the facilities. Equipment procured through the European Regional Development Fund, Project ERDF-080 “A Supercomputing Laboratory for the University of Malta” was also used. |
