Nonlinear dynamic characterization of two-dimensional materials

The mechanical resonances of atomically thin membranes show nonlinear responses at driving forces in the picoNewton range. Here, the authors develop a contactless method to extract the Young’s modulus of 2D materials from the nonlinear dynamic response of these nanomechanical resonators.
