Scanning tunnelling microscopy of suspended graphene
This work confirmed the existence of nanoscale ripples in graphene sheets even when suspended in high vacuum and free of any substrate interactions. The finding has key implications for the manufacture of graphene based electronic devices and sensors. The paper has led to rapid uptake of the implications of such sheet morphology by internationally leading groups for its role in interfacial coupling (DOI: 10.1039/C2NR30860F); development of two probe microscopy (DOI: 10.102l/C2nl3042779); design of ultra-sensitive strain gauges (DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.87.155436); ab. initio simulation of helium ion microscope images (DOI:10.1103/PhysRevLett.109.265505); and strain engineering the electronic structure of graphene.
