Tuning graphene dynamics by mechanical strain

Two-dimensional (membrane) materials have been receiving much scientific attention due to their unique material properties that can be used to study the smallest physical phenomena. One such material is graphene, perceived as the holy grail in material physics, due to its unique material properties. Its aspect ratio diminishes the bending...

Studying the effect of strain on the mechanical properties of wrinkled graphene

Surface corrugations in graphene negatively effect the unique and useful properties of graphene. In order to exploit the special properties of graphene, it is therefore important to understand the phenomenon of wrinkling. In this study, strain engineering was applied to study the flattening of wrinkles in a suspended graphene membrane. Initially...
