要旨

The wrinkling characteristics of a rectangular graphene membrane under local tension are studied in this paper based on the continuum theory. The characteristics of the primary bifurcation and secondary wrinkling are studied to discover the physics of graphene wrinkling. The wrinkling geometry is predicted by a continuum theory model. The results reveal that the first wrinkle is formed at the primary bifurcation point. The non-uniform stretch-induced compressed effects, that originate from both the loaded portion and the clamped edges, buckle the graphene to form the first wrinkle. Secondary wrinkling is generated on the boundary of the wrinkled regions and the slack regions near the loaded portion in the post-wrinkling stage is the intrinsic nature of the wrinkling rupture and evolution of graphene. In addition, the length of the loaded portion and the aspect ratio of graphene have great effects on the wrinkling characteristics. These results are tremendously useful in understanding the intrinsic nature of the structural instability of graphene.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
