A consequence of graphene being a soft membrane is that it can be strain-

engineered to become highly corrugated by modifying its adhesion to the

substrate.

As a soft membrane – Graphene is easily rippled

Electron-flexural phonon scattering in such partially suspended graphene devices

introduces anisotropic charge transport and limits charge mobility. Influence of Flexural phonon is reduced under tension. Applying weak strain may be enough

The electronic gaps associated with these

pseudo-magnetic fields are of the order ΔE(eV)

sensitive to density of electronic states and surface microstructure

• Charge transfer rate calculated follows the order of

GNBs on diamond> Diamond> flat G on diamond

Outward rotation of orbitals enhances local density of states and bestows higher

reactivity on the outer surface of the GNB,

however Inner surface is less reactive pz orbital isosurface wavefunction of flat and curved graphene calculated using density functional theory (DFT, at B3LYP/6-31G*).

Graphene Bubbles are

electrochemically more active than flat surface !!

Strong hydrogen bonding results in a

weakening of the OH oscillator, a red shift in energy and a broadening of the spectral peak

Calibrating the pressure inside the bubbles using pressure sensing

molecules

IR-active modes in polyphenyl molecules that become inactive upon the phase transition from the twisted to the planar

conformation.

Upon planarization, certain IR-active peaks become IR-forbidden.

We would expect to see 6 modes disappear from the spectrum if p-terphenyl belongs to the C2h group, 29 modes if it belongs to the D2 group, and 51 modes if the

molecule has C2 symmetry. These

‘‘disappearing peaks’’

comprise a special subset of vibrational modes

(27)

Monitoring the vanishing of out-of-plane vibrational modes in P-Terphenyl: “ pressure

induced flatterning of the molecules”

Similarly, by increasing the temperature, certain out-of-plane modes of p-terphenyl were found to disappear. These peaks are indicated by arrows.

The recovery of these peaks are also observed upon cooling of the sample.

Based on our experiments and with reference from previously reported values, we could draw a correlation between temperature and

Using this relationship that we derive, we can heat the sample with C60 and determine the pressure at which it undergoes polymerization.
