Mechanical properties of single-layer MoS2 nanoribbons investigated using a new micromechanical measurement method

Caption

(Upper left) Illustration showing the process of contacting a tungsten (W) tip to the edge of MoS2 multilayer and peeling off the outermost single-layer MoS2 nanoribbon. (Lower left) TEM image of the single-layer MoS2 nanoribbon observed from the cross-section and from the plane. (Middle) schematic illustration of the in situ TEM experiment on the nanoribbon with armchair edges, and (right) Young's modulus of the nanoribbon as a function of its width.
