Interlayer binding energy of graphite: A mesoscopic determination from deformation
Interlayer binding energy of graphite: A mesoscopic determination from deformation
Despite the interlayer binding energy being one of the most important material properties of graphite, direct experimental determination of this property is yet to be reported. In this paper, we present an experimental method to directly measure the interlayer binding energy of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). The obtained value …
