Abstract:Multilayer graphene exhibits strong mechanical anisotropy in the nonlinear elastic regime, and tuning this mechanical anisotropy without damaging the graphene is a tough challenge. In this work, we propose an efficient strategy to tune the mechanical anisotropy of multilayer graphene via interlayer twist. The orientation-dependent strain–stress curve of monolayer graphene is described in analytical form, which is further generalized for predicting the mechanical anisotropy of twisted multilayer graphene by introducing a twist-induced “phase shift.” These predictions are supported by...
