Gunther Martin, Maxwell Rabe, Dr. Alem Teklu: Investigation of the mechanical properties of MOS2 and ReSe2 using an AFM.

We measured the mechanical properties of MOS2 and ReSe2 using an AFM. MOS2 and ReSe2 are promising materials for their flexibility combined with their optical and electronic properties. Values relevant to their commercial use were obtained for Young's Modulus, stiffness, and hardness.
