The mechanical characterization of stacked, multilayer graphene cantilevers and plates

Abstract: The mechanical properties of stacked graphene sheets with varying number of layers are examined. The stacked sheets are assembled by manually combining single layer CVD-grown graphene monolayers, resulting in a turbostratic multilayer graphene with irregular layer spacings greater than crystalline graphite. Due to the presence of multiple layers, the material is analyzed as a plate rather than a membrane. Bending stiffness is determined via the deflection of micron-scale cantilevers, prepared using focused ion… Show more

“…Another strategy in preventing the collapse of suspended graphene is to reinforce membranes with another material. [30][31][32] For example, by stacking up multiple layers of CVD graphene on top of one another or by depositing carbon nanotubes on a graphene film, crack-free freestanding structures up to 1.5 mm in diameter and 5.1 nm thickness have been demonstrated. 33,34 However, this approach requires many fabrication steps, is very time consuming and results in wrinkling of the suspended membranes.…”
