Abstract

We report, based on its variation in electronic transport to coupled tension and shear deformation, a highly sensitive graphene-based strain sensor consisting of an armchair graphene nanoribbon (AGNR) between metallic contacts. As the nominal strain at any direction increases from 2.5 to 10%, the conductance decreases, particularly when the system changes from the electrically neutral region. At finite bias voltage, both the raw conductance and the relative proportion of the conductance depends smoothly on the gate voltage with negligible fluctuations, which is in contrast to that of pristine graphene. Specifically, when the nominal strain is 10% and the angle varies from 0 degree to 90 degree, the relative proportion of the conductance changes from 60 to 90%. ; Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures
