Free-standing epitaxial graphene.
We report on a method to produce free-standing graphene sheets from epitaxial graphene on silicon carbide (SiC) substrate. Doubly clamped nanomechanical resonators with lengths up to 20 microm were patterned using this technique and their resonant motion was actuated and detected optically. Resonance frequencies of the order of tens of megahertz were measured for most devices, indicating that t...
متن کاملElastic bending modulus of monolayer graphene
An analytic formula is derived for the elastic bending modulus of monolayer graphene based on an empirical potential for solid-state carbon atoms. Two physical origins are identified for the non-vanishing bending stiffness of the atomically thin graphene sheet, one due to the bond-angle effect and the other resulting from the bond-order term associated with the dihedral angles. The analytical p...
متن کاملTearing of free-standing graphene.
We examine the fracture mechanics of tearing graphene. We present a molecular dynamics simulation of the propagation of cracks in clamped, free-standing graphene as a function of the out-of-plane force. The geometry is motivated by experimental configurations that expose graphene sheets to out-of-plane forces, such as back-gate voltage. We establish the geometry and basic energetics of failure ...
متن کاملDirect probe of linearly dispersing 2D interband plasmons in a free-standing graphene monolayer
In low-dimensional systems, a detailed understanding of plasmons and their dispersion relation is crucial for applying their optical response in the field of plasmonics. Electron energyloss spectroscopy is a direct probe of these excitations. Here we report on electron energy-loss spectroscopy results on the dispersion of the π plasmons in free-standing graphene monolayers at the momentum range...
متن کاملπ-Plasmon Dispersion in Free-Standing Monolayer Graphene Investigated by Momentum-Resolved Electron Energy-Loss Spectroscopy
Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms densely packed in a honeycomb lattice with each carbon atom accommodating four valence electrons: one π electron and three σ electrons [1]. The lone unpaired π electron in the half-filled pz orbital would form a π bond with the neighboring carbon atoms leading to delocalized π bands. Three σ electrons, sp 2 -hybridized with neighboring three carbon ato...
