The structure of suspended graphene sheets has been studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and other techniques. The research shows that suspended graphene sheets are not perfectly flat but exhibit intrinsic microscopic roughening, with surface normals varying by several degrees and out-of-plane deformations reaching 1 nm. These sheets are only one atom thick and still display long-range crystalline order. The observed corrugations in the third dimension may shed light on the stability of 2D crystals. The study also shows that suspended graphene sheets can exist without a substrate and exhibit random elastic deformations in all three dimensions. The preparation of these membranes involved micromechanical cleavage, electron-beam lithography, and etching steps. TEM images reveal that suspended graphene sheets have folded regions and scrolls, which can be used to determine the number of layers. The study also shows that single-layer graphene can be distinguished from thicker samples by analyzing nanobeam electron diffraction patterns. The diffraction patterns show that single-layer graphene has a unique signature, with no dimming of diffraction peaks at any angle. The observed broadening of diffraction peaks indicates that graphene sheets are not flat within the submicron area of the electron beam. The study also estimates the spatial extent of the corrugations to be several nanometers. The results suggest that the microscopic roughness is intrinsic to graphene membranes and may contribute to their structural stability. The findings have implications for the understanding of 2D crystals and their potential applications in technology. The study is supported by various references to previous research and experiments.The structure of suspended graphene sheets has been studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and other techniques.
