Abstract

Strain, ripples and wrinkles in graphene reduce the charge-carrier mobility and alter the electronic behaviour. In few-layer graphene the anisotropy between the in-plane and cross-plane resistivity is altered and a band gap can be opened up. Here we demonstrate a method to reversibly induce point ri...
