▎ 摘  要

Graphene, an atomically thin two-dimensional material has become an ideal candidate for fabricating nano-electro-mechanical systems resonators because of its excellent mechanical properties and ultra-light weight. Its high tensile strength and Young's modulus coupled with the ability to withstand high strains while functioning make it suitable for use in mechanical resonators. In this study, the authors review the electronic applications of graphene mechanical resonators for future radio frequency communications, ultra-sensitive mass and temperature detection using the consequent changes in resonance frequency of the resonators. Moreover, they experimentally establish the non-linear characteristics of graphene mechanical resonators at high driving amplitudes and envision its applications in future electronics and sensing.
