Auxetic Carbon Honeycomb: Strain-Tunable Phase Transitions and Novel Negative Poisson's Ratio.

ABSTRACT: Auxetic structure and tunable phase transitions are fascinating properties for future application. Herein, we propose two three-dimensional (3D) carbon honeycombs (CHC), known as Cmcm -CHC and Cmmm-CHC. Based on first-principles calculations, these novel 3D materials exhibit auxeticity with a fascinating negative Poisson's ratio, which stems from (i) the puckered structure of Cmcm -CHC along the tube axis and (ii) significant change of angle-dominant deformation for Cmmm-CHC in the armchair direction. In addition, the moderate strain drives semimetal to semiconductor phase transition in CHCs, which thoroughly establishes its C-C bond formation. In the meantime, two new phases, namely P6₃/mmc-CHC and P6/mmm-CHC, form and exhibit semiconductor characteristics. Our results also show that Cmcm -CHC and P6₃/mmc-CHC are superhard materials. The outstanding negative Poisson's ratio and phase transition properties make CHCs highly versatile for innovative applications in microelectromechanical and nanoelectronic devices.

The Temperature-Sensitive Anisotropic Negative Poisson's Ratio of Carbon Honeycomb.

Project description:We report that carbon honeycomb, a new three-dimension carbon allotrope, exhibits large negative Poisson's ratio, as large as -0.32, in tensile revealed via molecular dynamics simulations. The Poisson's ratio of carbon honeycomb is anisotropic, and sensitive to temperature. The carbon honeycomb has phase transformation from normal to auxetic by tensile, along both zigzag and armchair directions. The critical strain for the normal-auxetic transition along the cell-axis direction reduces with respect to an increase in temperature. Combined with high strength of 50 GPa, such a unique and adjustable negative Poisson ratio suggests broad engineering applications of carbon honeycomb.

A seamless auxetic substrate with a negative Poisson's ratio of -1.

Project description:Auxetic metamaterials are a unique class of materials or structures with a negative Poisson's ratio and a wide array of functionalities. However, their inherent porosity presents challenges in practical applications. Filling the inherent perforations while preserving their unique auxeticity is difficult because it demands the seamless integration of components that have highly distinct mechanical characteristics. Here we introduce a seamless auxetic substrate film capable of achieving a negative Poisson's ratio of -1, the theoretical limit of isotropic materials. This breakthrough is realized by incorporating a highly rigid auxetic structure reinforced by glass-fabric, with surface-flattening soft elastomers. We effectively optimize the mechanical properties of these components by systematic experimental and theoretical investigations into the effects of relative differences in the moduli of the constituents. Using the developed auxetic film we demonstrate an image distortion-free display having 25 PPI resolution of micro-LEDs that is capable of 25% stretching without performance degradation.

Tunable Negative Poisson's Ratio in Van der Waals Superlattice.

Project description:Negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) materials are functional and mechanical metamaterials that shrink (expand) longitudinally after being compressed (stretched) laterally. By using first-principles calculations, we found that Poisson's ratio can be tuned from near zero to negative by different stacking modes in van der Waals (vdW) graphene/hexagonal boron nitride (G/h-BN) superlattice. We attribute the NPR effect to the interaction of p z orbitals between the interfacial layers. Furthermore, a parameter calculated by analyzing the electronic band structure, namely, distance-dependent hopping integral, is used to describe the intensity of this interaction. We believe that this mechanism is not only applicable to G/h-BN superlattice but can also explain and predict the NPR effect in other vdW layered superlattices. Therefore, the NPR phenomenon, which was relatively rare in 3D and 2D materials, can be realized in the vdW superlattices by different stacking orders. The combinations of tunable NPRs with the excellent electrical/optical properties of 2D vdW superlattices will pave a novel avenue to a wide range of multifunctional applications.

Three-Dimensional Polymer Constructs Exhibiting a Tunable Negative Poisson's Ratio.

Project description:Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of a porous polymeric construct (scaffold) quantitatively describe how it supports and transmits external stresses to its surroundings. While Young's modulus is always non-negative and highly tunable in magnitude, Poisson's ratio can, indeed, take on negative values despite the fact that it is non-negative for virtually every naturally occurring and artificial material. In some applications, a construct having a tunable negative Poisson's ratio (an auxetic construct) may be more suitable for supporting the external forces imposed upon it by its environment. Here, three-dimensional polyethylene glycol scaffolds with tunable negative Poisson's ratios are fabricated. Digital micromirror device projection printing (DMD-PP) is used to print single-layer constructs composed of cellular structures (pores) with special geometries, arrangements, and deformation mechanisms. The presence of the unit-cellular structures tunes the magnitude and polarity (positive or negative) of Poisson's ratio. Multilayer constructs are fabricated with DMD-PP by stacking the single-layer constructs with alternating layers of vertical connecting posts. The Poisson's ratios of the single- and multilayer constructs are determined from strain experiments, which show (1) that the Poisson's ratios of the constructs are accurately predicted by analytical deformation models and (2) that no slipping occurrs between layers in the multilayer constructs and the addition of new layers does not affect Poisson's ratio.

Study on a Chiral Structure with Tunable Poisson's Ratio.

Project description:A chiral structure with a negative Poisson's ratio containing a hollow circle with varying diameters was designed, and the finite element method was used to investigate the variation in the Poisson's ratio when the hollow circle diameter was varied (d = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 mm). The simulation results showed that the Poisson's ratio was sensitive to the hollow circle diameter, and the minimum Poisson's ratio was -0.43. Three specimens with different hollow circle diameters (d' = 0, 1, and 3 mm) were 3D-printed from thermoplastic polyurethane, and the Poisson's ratio and equivalent elastic modulus were measured. In the elastic range, the Poisson's ratio increased and the equivalent elastic modulus decreased as the hollow circle diameter increased. The simulation and experimental results showed good agreement. The proposed structure is expected to be applicable to protective sports gear owing to its high energy absorption and the fact that its properties can be modified as required by adjusting the geometric parameters of the unit cell.

Hierarchical honeycomb auxetic metamaterials.

Project description:Most conventional materials expand in transverse directions when they are compressed uniaxially resulting in the familiar positive Poisson's ratio. Here we develop a new class of two dimensional (2D) metamaterials with negative Poisson's ratio that contract in transverse directions under uniaxial compressive loads leading to auxeticity. This is achieved through mechanical instabilities (i.e., buckling) introduced by structural hierarchy and retained over a wide range of applied compression. This unusual behavior is demonstrated experimentally and analyzed computationally. The work provides new insights into the role of structural organization and hierarchy in designing 2D auxetic metamaterials, and new opportunities for developing energy absorbing materials, tunable membrane filters, and acoustic dampeners.

Metal [100] Nanowires with Negative Poisson's Ratio.

Project description:When materials are under stretching, occurrence of lateral contraction of materials is commonly observed. This is because Poisson's ratio, the quantity describes the relationship between a lateral strain and applied strain, is positive for nearly all materials. There are some reported structures and materials having negative Poisson's ratio. However, most of them are at macroscale, and reentrant structures and rigid rotating units are the main mechanisms for their negative Poisson's ratio behavior. Here, with numerical and theoretical evidence, we show that metal [100] nanowires with asymmetric cross-sections such as rectangle or ellipse can exhibit negative Poisson's ratio behavior. Furthermore, the negative Poisson's ratio behavior can be further improved by introducing a hole inside the asymmetric nanowires. We show that the surface effect inducing the asymmetric stresses inside the nanowires is a main origin of the superior property.

Large piezoelectric and thermal expansion coefficients with negative Poisson's ratio in strain-modulated tellurene.

Project description:Two dimensional (2D) chalcogenide monolayers have diversified applications in optoelectronics, piezotronics, sensors and energy harvesting. The group-IV tellurene monolayer is one such emerging material in the 2D family owing to its piezoelectric, thermoelectric and optoelectronic properties. In this paper, the mechanical and piezoelectric properties of 2D tellurene in centrosymmetric β and non-centrosymmetric β' phases are investigated using density functional theory. β'-Te has shown a negative Poisson's ratio of -0.024 along the zigzag direction. Giant in-plane piezoelectric coefficients of -83.89 × 10-10 C m-1 and -42.58 × 10-10 C m-1 are observed for β'-Te under biaxial and uniaxial strains, respectively. The predicted values are remarkably higher, that is 23 and 12 times the piezoelectric coefficient of a MoS2 monolayer with biaxial and uniaxial strain in the zigzag direction, respectively. A large thermal expansion coefficient of tellurene is also estimated using quasi harmonic approximation. High piezoelectricity combined with exotic mechanical and thermal properties makes tellurene a very promising candidate in nanoelectronics.

Chemically modified graphene films with tunable negative Poisson's ratios.

Project description:Graphene-derived macroscopic assemblies feature hierarchical nano- and microstructures that provide numerous routes for surface and interfacial functionalization achieving unconventional material properties. We report that the microstructural hierarchy of pristine chemically modified graphene films, featuring wrinkles, delamination of close-packed laminates, their ordered and disordered stacks, renders remarkable negative Poisson's ratios ranging from -0.25 to -0.55. The mechanism proposed is validated by the experimental characterization and theoretical analysis. Based on the understanding of microstructural origins, pre-strech is applied to endow chemically modified graphene films with controlled negative Poisson's ratios. Modulating the wavy textures of the inter-connected network of close-packed laminates in the chemically modified graphene films also yields finely-tuned negative Poisson's ratios. These findings offer the key insights into rational design of films constructed from two-dimensional materials with negative Poisson's ratios and mechanomutable performance.

Strain induced topological phase transitions in monolayer honeycomb structures of group-V binary compounds.

Project description:We present first-principles calculations of electronic structures of a class of two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb structures of group-V binary compounds. Our results show these new 2D materials are stable semiconductors with direct or indirect band gaps. The band gap can be tuned by applying lattice strain. During their stretchable regime, they all exhibit metal-indirect gap semiconductor-direct gap semiconductor-topological insulator (TI) transitions with increasing strain from negative (compressive) to positive (tensile) values. The topological phase transition results from the band inversion at the Γ point which is due to the evolution of bonding and anti-bonding states under lattice strain.
