▎ 摘  要

Scanning force microscopy (SFM) and Raman spectroscopy allow the unraveling of charge doping and strain effects upon wetting and dewetting of a graphene-mica slit pore with water. SFM reveals a wetting monolayer of water, slightly thinner than a single layer of graphene. The Raman spectrum of the dry pore exhibits the D' peak of graphene, which practically disappears upon wetting, and recurs when the water layer dewets the pore. Based on the 2D- and G-peak positions, the corresponding peak intensities, and the widths, we conclude that graphene on dry mica is charge-doped and variably strained. A monolayer of water in between graphene and mica removes the doping and reduces the strain. We attribute the D' peak to direct contact of the graphene with the ionic mica surface in dry conditions, and we conclude that a complete monolayer of water wetting the slit pore decouples the graphene from the mica substrate both mechanically and electronically.
