Popis: | Reliably determining the physical properties of ice (e.g., crystal structure, adhesion strength, interfacial state, and molecular orientation) has proven to be both challenging and highly dependent on experiment-specific conditions, including surface roughness, ice formation, water purity, and measurement method. Here, non-destructive measurements of single-layer graphene (SLG) interfaced with bulk ice are used to determine temperature-dependent, ice-induced strain and estimate ice-created strain elastic density in SLG. The use of SLG enables the precise study of interfacial strain by monitoring the 2D Raman mode. Upon ice formation, a clear, ≈2 cm-1 decrease in the 2D mode frequency is observed, which is ascribed to a 0.012% biaxial tensile shear strain at the ice-SLG interface. From this shear strain value, the ice-created SLG elastic strain energy density is estimated to be 2.4 µJ m-2 . In addition to these Raman strain measurements, intentionally ionized water is used to show that water-mediated charging of the SLG surface manifests itself in a distinctly different manner than ice-induced strain. Finally, the localized nature of the Raman probe is used to map SLG regions with and without ice, suggesting that this method cannot only determine ice-induced interfacial strain, but also correlate ice adhesion properties with surface roughness and topology. |
