Abstract: The chemical vapour deposition method is widely used to synthesise high quality graphene with a large surface area. However, the cooling process leads to the formations of ripples and wrinkles in the graphene structure. When a self-adhered wrinkle achieves the maximum height, it then folds onto the surface and leads to a collapsed wrinkle. The presence of such deformations often affects the properties of graphene. In this article, we describe a novel mathematical model to understand the formation and geometry of these wrinkles. The stability of these wrinkles is examined based on variational derivations for the energy of each structure. The model provides detailed explanations for the geometry of these wrinkles which would help in tuning their properties. References J. Aljedani, M. J. Chen, and B. J. Cox.

Abstract: We present a novel analytical prediction for the effective bending rigidity γ eff of multi–layer graphene sheets. Our approach involves using a variational model to determine the folding conformation of multi–layer graphene sheets where the curvature of each graphene layer is taken into account. The Lennard–Jones potential is used to determine the van der Waals interaction energy per unit area and the spacing distance between graphene layers. The mid–line of the folded multi–layer graphene is described by a solution derived in previous work for folded single– and multi–layer graphene. Several curves are obtained for the single–layer solution using different values of the bending rigidity γ , and compared to the mid–line of the folded multi–layer graphene. The total area between these curves and the mid–line is calculated, and the value of γ eff is determined by the single–layer curve for which this area is minimized. While there is some disagreement in the literature regarding the relationship between the bending rigidity and the number of layers, our analysis reveals that the bending rigidity of multi–layer graphene follows an approximate square–power relationship with the number of layers N , where N 7. This trend is in line with theoretical and experimental studies reported in the literature.

Abstract: A mathematical model is developed to study the folding behaviour of multi–layer graphene sheets supported on a substrate. The conformation of the fold is determined from variational considerations based on two energies, namely the graphene elastic energy and the van der Waals (vdW) interaction energy between graphene layers and the substrate. The model is nondimensionalized and variational calculus techniques are then employed to determine the conformation of the fold. The Lennard–Jones potential is used to determine the vdW interaction energy as well as the graphene–substrate and graphene–graphene spacing distances. The folding conformation is investigated under three different approximations of the total line curvature. Our findings show good agreement with experimental measurements of multi–layer graphene folds from the literature.
