An ideal freestanding graphene in air is centrosymmetric in three dimensions, and its optical second harmonic generation is inhibited. However, we found strong second harmonic generation from suspended grapheme sheets, and attributed this observation to curved sheet in the long range.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
