Abstract

Abstract : An in situ quantitative tensile testing platform is developed to enable the uniform in‐plane loading of a freestanding membrane of 2D materials inside a scanning electron microscope. The in situ tensile testing reveals the brittle fracture of large‐area MoSe2 crystals and measures their fracture strength for the first time.
