Dynamic Local Strain in Graphene Generated by Surface Acoustic Waves

Abstract: We experimentally demonstrate that the Raman active optical phonon modes of single layer graphene can be modulated by the dynamic local strain created by surface acoustic waves (SAWs). In particular, the dynamic strain field of the SAW is shown to induce a Raman scattering intensity variation as large as 15 % and a phonon frequency shift of up to 10 cm −1 for the G band, for instance, for an effective hydrostatic strain of 0.24 % generated in a single layer graphene atop a LiNbO3 piezoelectric substrate with a… Show more

“…Strain engineering in graphene has a longer history than that in TMDCs, which has enabled various applications. Depending on the straining techniques, graphene optical signals (e.g., the Raman resonance) can be indirectly modified by electrical signals 104 , gas pressure 105 , and even sound waves 106 . As a result of the modified phonon dispersion and electronic band structure, both theoretical analysis and experiments have demonstrated two common characteristics in the Raman spectra: strain-induced shifting and splitting of Raman spectral peaks (both of which depend on the direction and magnitude of the applied strain).…”

“…Surface acoustic wave (SAW) propagation is a powerful method of investigating the mechanical and electrical properties of low-dimensional materials such as 2D electron gases 27 , 28 , graphene 29 , 30 , 1D carbon nanotubes 31 , 32 , and zero D quantum dots 33 , 34 . In this study, we investigated the thermodynamic properties of deformed few-layer graphene by analyzing the propagation velocities, frequencies and attenuation characteristics of SAWs that passed through the graphene layers.…”
