Study Results Provide New Insights into Origins of Friction on Graphene

Graphene is a two-dimensional sheet form of carbon with a thickness of just one atom. The exceptional electrical conductivity, strength, and chemical stability have paved the way for extensive research on graphene. Despite long-term research, specific basic characteristics of graphene - such as its reaction to a material sliding on its surface - are yet not completely understood.

Highest Plasmon Energy Observed in Graphene Plasmons

The unique properties of graphene can be both a blessing and a curse to researchers, particularly to those at the junction of electronic and optical application. The flexible profiles of these atom-thick sheets have highly mobile electrons, which make them efficient conductors, but generally graphene sheets do not interact efficiently with light.
