“…To provide a more definitive indication of the presence of graphene, the phase lag of the cantilever vibration was examined, as demonstrated in Figure 2a. The phase lag is influenced by surface properties such as adhesion, friction, and viscoelasticity [18]. As shown in Figure 2a, there is a notable difference in the phase lag between the bare Au surface and the graphene-supported Au film, amounting to approximately 10 degrees.…”

While charge transport in the horizontal plane of graphene has been widely studied, there is only limited understanding about the transport across a stack of films that include graphene sheets. In this report, a model of a metal–graphene–metal stack was produced and investigated via detailed analysis of experimental dependences of electrical current on applied external voltage. Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) was used to measure the dependences of the local tunneling current on the voltage under fixed compressing force. The SPM platinum probe produced the compressing force on gold-supported graphene in the metal–graphene–metal system. The experimental results were explained by a model that included the pinning of the Fermi level of graphene to platinum and the related changes in the parameters of the potential barrier for the electron flow. It was demonstrated that low-voltage and high-voltage intervals can be identified in the charge transport across the metal–graphene–metal stack. In the high-voltage interval (approximately > |±0.7| V in the tested stack), the history of the current measurement was detected due to the charge accumulation. In the low-voltage interval, the current was determined by the electronic states near the Fermi level. In this interval, the graphene layer can function as a blocking gate for the electron transport in the metal–graphene–metal system.
