Impermeable atomic membranes from graphene sheets.
We demonstrate that a monolayer graphene membrane is impermeable to standard gases including helium. By applying a pressure difference across the membrane, we measure both the elastic constants and the mass of a single layer of graphene. This pressurized graphene membrane is the world's thinnest balloon and provides a unique separation barrier between 2 distinct regions that is only one atom th...
متن کاملNonlinear Mechanics of Single-atomic-layer Graphene Sheets
The unique lattice structure and properties of graphene have drawn tremendous interests recently. By combining continuum and atomistic approaches, this paper investigates the mechanical properties of single-atomic-layer graphene sheets. A theoretical framework of nonlinear continuum mechanics is developed for graphene under both in-plane and bending deformation. Atomistic simulations are carrie...
متن کاملElectromechanical resonators from graphene sheets.
Nanoelectromechanical systems were fabricated from single- and multilayer graphene sheets by mechanically exfoliating thin sheets from graphite over trenches in silicon oxide. Vibrations with fundamental resonant frequencies in the megahertz range are actuated either optically or electrically and detected optically by interferometry. We demonstrate room-temperature charge sensitivities down to ...
متن کاملSeeing graphene-based sheets
Graphene is two-dimensional nanomaterial consisting of a single layer of sp2 network of carbon atoms (Fig. 1a)1. While the thickness of a graphene sheet is on the order of a single atomic unit, its lateral dimension can approach up to tens of microns. Graphene and its derivatives such as graphene oxide (GO) (Fig. 1b), and reduced graphene oxide (r-GO, a.k.a. chemically modified graphene) (Fig. ...
متن کاملGraphene oxide sheets at interfaces.
Graphite oxide sheet, now called graphene oxide (GO), is the product of chemical exfoliation of graphite and has been known for more than a century. GO has been largely viewed as hydrophilic, presumably due to its excellent colloidal stability in water. Here we report that GO is an amphiphile with hydrophilic edges and a more hydrophobic basal plane. GO can act like a surfactant, as measured by...
