Graphene-to-Substrate Energy Transfer through Out-of-Plane Longitudinal Acoustic Phonons
Practically, graphene is often deposited
on substrates. Given the
major substrate-induced modification of properties and considerable
energy transfer at the interface, the graphene–substrate interaction
has been widely discussed. However, the proposed mechanisms were restricted
to the two-dimensional (2D) plane and interface, while the energy
conduction in the third dimension is hardly considered. Herein, we
disclose the transfer of energy perpendicular to the interface of
the combined system of the 2D graphene and the 3D base. More precisely,
our observation of the energy dissipation of optically excited graphene
via emitting out-of-plane longitudinal acoustic phonon into the substrate
is presented. By applying nanoultrasonic spectroscopy with a piezoelectric
nanolayer embedded in the substrate, we found that under photoexcitation
by a femtosecond laser pulse graphene can emit longitudinal coherent
acoustic phonons (CAPs) with frequencies over 1 THz into the substrate.
In addition, the waveform of the CAP pulse infers that the photocarriers
and sudden lattice heating in graphene caused modification of graphene–substrate
bond and consequently generated longitudinal acoustic phonons in the
substrate. The direct observation of this unexplored graphene-to-substrate
vertical energy transfer channel can bring new insights into the understanding
of the energy dissipation and limited transport properties of supported
graphene

The elongation of heart tube was normally developed at 24 hpf in the wild-type (A) and in the morphants (C); whereas the heart of morphant did not elongate to from a heart-tube (B). The wild-type (D) and morphant's heart (F) developed normally at 30 hpf, but the heart of morphant was still retardant development at 30 hpf (E), and even ceased at heart-cone stage at 36 hpf (F). Compared to the wild-type (G), however, the heart positioning was abnormally in the morphant at 36 hpf (I, J). Eventually, both and morphants displayed an unlooped and stretched heart (L, M). The heart morphology of embryos injected with the control MO was also observed at 72 hpf (N). a: atrium; v: ventricle
