The analysis of the electronic properties of strained or lattice deformed graphene combines ideas from classical condensed matter physics, soft matter, and geometrical aspects of quantum field theory (QFT) in curved spaces. Recent theoretical and experimental work shows the influence of strains in many properties of graphene not considered before, such as electronic transport, spin–orbit coupling, the formation of Moire patterns and optics. There is also significant evidence of anharmonic effects, which can modify the structural properties of graphene. These phenomena are not restricted to graphene, and they are being intensively studied in other two dimensional materials, such as the transition metal dichalcogenides. We review here recent developments related to the role of strains in the structural and electronic properties of graphene and other two dimensional compounds.

A review on mechanics and mechanical properties of 2D materials—Graphene and beyond (2016, background): “Recent theoretical and experimental work has shown unprecedented effects of strain onmany physical properties of graphene and other 2Dmaterials [17], making ‘‘strain engineering’’ a viable approach for awide range of potential applications involving 2D materials.”
Production and processing of graphene and related materials (2020, background): “However, up to date, experimental evidence under uniaxial tension that confirms the above is missing, as these properties have been predicted via theoretical or modelling [1647, 1648].”
Inhomogeneous Weyl and Dirac Semimetals: Transport in Axial Magnetic Fields and Fermi Arc Surface States from Pseudo-Landau Levels (2016, neutral): “are analogous to those predicted in graphene [3,5,70].”
