Mechanical properties of suspended graphene sheets

TLDR
In this article, the Young's modulus of stacks of graphene sheets suspended over photolithographically defined trenches in silicon dioxide was measured using an atomic force microscope, with measured spring constants scaling as expected with the dimensions of the suspended section, ranging from 1to5N∕m.
Abstract
Using an atomic force microscope, we measured effective spring constants of stacks of graphene sheets (less than 5) suspended over photolithographically defined trenches in silicon dioxide. Measurements were made on layered graphene sheets of thicknesses between 2 and 8nm, with measured spring constants scaling as expected with the dimensions of the suspended section, ranging from 1to5N∕m. When our data are fitted to a model for doubly clamped beams under tension, we extract a Young’s modulus of 0.5TPa, compared to 1TPa for bulk graphite along the basal plane, and tensions on the order of 10−7N.
