Friction force microscopy : a simple technique for identifying graphene on rough substrates and mapping the orientation of graphene grains on copper [PDF]
At a single atom thick, it is challenging to distinguish graphene from its substrate using conventional techniques. In this paper we show that friction force microscopy (FFM) is a simple and quick technique for identifying graphene on a range of samples,

Reversible Loss of Bernal Stacking during the Deformation of Few-Layer Graphene in Nanocomposites [PDF]
The deformation of nanocomposites containing graphene flakes with different numbers of layers has been investigated with the use of Raman spectroscopy. It has been found that there is a shift of the 2D band to lower wavenumber and that the rate of band ...
