| contents | The fascinating realm of strain engineering and wetting transitions in two-dimensional (2D) materials takes place when placed on a two-dimensional array of nanopillars or one-dimensional rectangular grated substrates. Our investigation encompasses a diverse set of atomically thin 2D materials, including transition metal dichalcogenides, hexagonal boron nitride, and graphene, with a keen focus on the impact of van der Waals adhesion energies to the substrate on the wetting/dewetting behavior on nanopatterned substrates. We find a critical aspect ratio of the nanopillar or grating heights to the period of the pattern when the wetting/dewetting transition occurs. Furthermore, energy hysteresis analysis reveals dynamic detachment and re-engagement events during height adjustments, shedding light on energy barriers of 2D monolayer transferred on patterned substrates. Our findings offer avenues for strain engineering in 2D materials, leading to promising prospects for future technological applications. |
