Meyer et al (2007) found that free-standing graphene sheets, just one atom thick, display spontaneous ripples. The ripples are of order 2-20 {\AA} high and 20-200 {\AA} wide. The sheets in which they appear are only one atom thick, and…

We induce surface carrier densities up to $\sim7\cdot 10^{14}$cm$^{-2}$ in few-layer graphene devices by electric double layer gating with a polymeric electrolyte. In 3-, 4- and 5-layer graphene below 20-30K we observe a logarithmic upturn…
