TLDR
In this article, dedicated Raman scattering experiments were conducted for graphene monolayers deposited on silicon nitride substrates and over a broad temperature range extending over 150--800 K. The relation between those measurements for the $G$ band and the graphene TEC, which involves correcting the measured signal from the mismatch contribution of the substrate, was analyzed based on different theoretical candidates for $\ensuremath{\alpha}(T)$.Abstract:
Measurements and calculations have shown significant disagreement regarding the sign and temperature variations of the thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) of graphene $\ensuremath{\alpha}(T)$. Here we report dedicated Raman scattering experiments conducted for graphene monolayers deposited on silicon nitride substrates and over a broad temperature range extending over 150--800 K. The relation between those measurements for the $G$ band and the graphene TEC, which involves correcting the measured signal from the mismatch contribution of the substrate, is analyzed based on different theoretical candidates for $\ensuremath{\alpha}(T)$. Contrary to calculations in the quasiharmonic approximation, a many-body potential reparametrized for graphene correctly reproduces experimental data, suggesting that the TEC is more likely to be positive above room temperature.read more

Intrinsic ripples in graphene
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address the nature of these height fluctuations by means of straightforward atomistic Monte Carlo simulations based on a very accurate many-body interatomic potential for carbon and find that ripples spontaneously appear due to thermal fluctuations with a size distribution peaked around 70 \AA which is compatible with experimental findings (50-100 \AA) but not with the current understanding of flexible membranes.
