This thesis introduces a unique approach of applying atomic force
microscopy to study the nanoelectromechanical properties of 2D
materials, providing high-resolution computer-generated imagery
(CGI) and diagrams to aid readers' understanding and visualization.
The isolation of graphene and, shortly after, a host of other 2D
materials has attracted a great deal of interest in the scientific
community for both their range of extremely desirable and their
record-breaking properties. Amongst these properties are some of
the highest elastic moduli and tensile strengths ever observed in
nature. The work, which was undertaken at Lancaster University's
Physics department in conjunction with the University of Manchester
and the National Physical Laboratory, offers a new approach to
understanding the nanomechanical and nanoelectromechanical
properties of 2D materials by utilising the nanoscale and
nanosecond resolution of ultrasonic force and heterodyne force
microscopy (UFM and HFM) - both contact mode atomic force
microscopy (AFM) techniques. Using this approach and developing
several other new techniques the authors succeeded in probing
samples' subsurface and mechanical properties, which would
otherwise remain hidden. Lastly, by using a new technique, coined
electrostatic heterodyne force microscopy (E-HFM), the authors were
able to observe nanoscale electromechanical vibrations with a
nanometre and nanosecond resolution, in addition to probing the
local electrostatic environment of devices fabricated from 2D
materials.
