Abstract

We report the resonant frequency measurement of few-layer (1-, 2-, and 3-layer) graphene (FLG) cantilevers by optical heterodyne interferometry. The micro-sized FLG cantilevers with and without the diamond-like carbon weights were fabricated using focused ion beam. The Young's modulus was able to be calculated from the measured resonant frequency. The calculated Young's modulus was larger than the literature data [1]. This result suggests that the overlapped structure of the FLG cantilever makes the structure rigid.
