Abstract

We measured the elastic properties and breaking strength of free-standing chemical vapor deposition grown graphene membranes by nanoindentation with an atomic force microscope probe in scanning electric microscope. The force-displacement behavior presents to be nonlinear elastic stress-strain response. The two dimension elastic constant and fracture are extracted to be 337 N/m and 179 GPa, respectively. The corresponded effective Young´s modulus is E = 1 TPa, compared to 1 TPa for graphene produced by mechanical exfoliation of graphite and 0.25 TPa for graphene produced by chemical reduction.
