Possible pair-graphene structures govern the thermodynamic properties of arbitrarily stacked few-layer graphene

Abstract The thermodynamic properties of few-layer graphene arbitrarily stacked on LiNbO3 crystal were characterized by measuring the parameters of a surface acoustic wave as it passed through the graphene/LiNbO3 interface. The parameters considered included the propagation velocity, frequency, and...
