▎ 摘  要

Electronic transport properties of graphene under uniaxial compressive strain are studied using ab initio calculations. With approximate thermal perturbation, buckling occurs when strain exceeds a threshold, comparing to flat unperturbed structures. Transmissions of flat graphene compressed along zigzag direction (ZCG) and buckled graphene compressed along armchair direction (ACG) are insensitive to strain, whereas those of buckled ZCG and flat ACG are negatively correlated to strain. Flat graphene has anisotropic resistance along the strain direction, while buckling suppresses the anisotropy by releasing the strain. The insensitivity of buckled graphene on strain direction and out-of-plane deformation makes feasible to implement flexible electronics. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3680092]
