Out-of-plane shear and out-of plane Young's modulus of double-layer graphene
In this Letter we predict the out-of-plane Young's modulus (perpendicular to the basal plane) and the out-of-plane shear modulus of double-layer graphene using density functional theory calculations with periodic boundary conditions using the GAUSSIAN 09 program package. These values are discussed in the context of the corresponding values of graphite. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
