Journal Article
Svatek, S. A., Scott, O. R., Rivett, J. P., Wright, K., Baldoni, M., Bichoutskaia, E., …Beton, P. H. (2015). Adsorbate-induced curvature and stiffening of graphene. Nano Letters, 15(1), https://doi.org/10.1021/nl503308c

The adsorption of the alkane tetratetracontane (TTC, C44H90) on graphene induces the formation of a curved surface stabilized by a gain in adsorption energy. This effect arises from a curvature-dependent variation of a moiré pattern due to the mismat... Read More about Adsorbate-induced curvature and stiffening of graphene.
