Buckling of thermalized elastic sheets

Steady progress in the miniaturization of structures and devices has reached a scale where thermal fluctuations become relevant it is thus important to understand how such affect their mechanical stability. Here, we investigate buckling thermalized sheets demonstrate that increase critical load due enhanced scale-dependent bending rigidity for are much larger than characteristic length scale. The presented results universal apply wide range microscopic sheets. These especially atomically thin 2D materials, can significantly because on order nanometers at room temperature.
