Mechanical Characterization of Reduced Graphene Oxide Using AFM

Figure 12

This image shows the edge of a sample of 5 LightScribe reduction cycle graphene oxide taken using the SHOCON contact probe. The three-dimensional topography and edge positioning of the sample allow for an approximation of the number of layers of stacked graphene. This sample contains 4-5 layers seen in the various height differentials.
