▎ 摘  要

We report a new method for measuring vacuum pressures using Van der Waals (VDW) interactions between reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets. For this purpose, we utilized a reaction-based selfassembly process to fabricate various intercalated RGO (i-RGO) films, and monitored their electrical behavior with changing pressure and temperature. Pumping to remove gas from a vacuum chamber produced a decrease in the sheet resistance of i-RGO. With further pumping, distinctly different sheet resistance behaivors were observed depending on the measurement temperature. With increasing vacuum pressure, the resistance increased at 100 degrees C, whereas it decreased at 30 degrees C. Two types of VDW interactions are proposed to explain these features: a local VDW interaction between RGO sheets that resulted in V-shaped curves of sheet resistance with pressure changes and broad VDW interactions that occur between RGO sheets when the elastic force required to bend carbon clusters on an RGO sheet exceeds their vibrational energy at low temperatures. On the basis of the results, we propose that the resistance behavior of i-RGO as a function of vacuum pressure can be interpreted as the sum of the two different VDW interactions.
