Rice University received a $165,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to investigate strain and strain relaxation mechanisms in complex two-dimensional materials. Through this five-year award running from May 2023 to April 2028, Rice University will conduct research using scanning transmission electron microscopy techniques to map lattice strain and deformations in two-dimensional heterostructures. The goal is to develop a comprehensive understanding of novel deformation mechanisms beyond traditional dislocation-based processes that contribute to stress relaxation in two-dimensional materials. Insights gained from this study aim to advance the use of complex two-dimensional materials in applications such as flexible electronics, quantum computing, catalysis, and protective coatings. Rice University will also support broader participation in STEM through related outreach and education activities for teachers, students and the public.
