| contents | High frequency acoustic devices based on two-dimensional (2D) materials are unique platforms to design and manipulate the spatiotemporal response of acoustic waves for next-generation sensing and contactless actuation applications. Conventional methods for actuating suspended membranes, however, cannot be applied to all 2D materials, or are limited in frequency. There is, therefore, a need for a universal high-frequency, on-chip actuation technique that can be applied to all types of membranes. Here, we demonstrate that surface acoustic waves (SAWs) can be used to efficiently actuate suspended 2D materials by exciting suspended graphene membranes with high-frequency (375 MHz) Rayleigh surface waves and mapping the resulting vibration field with atomic force acoustic microscopy (AFAM). Acoustic waves travelling from supported to suspended graphene experience a reduction in acoustic wavelength from 10 μm to ~2 μum due to the decrease in effective bending rigidity, leading to a decrease in wave velocity on suspended graphene. By varying the excitation frequency, we observed a change in phase velocity from ~160 m/s to ~700 m/s. This behavior is consistent with the nonlinear dispersion of acoustic waves, as predicted by plate theory, in suspended graphene membranes. The geometry and bending rigidity of the membrane thus play key roles in modulating the acoustic wave pattern and wavelength. This combined SAW actuation and AFAM visualization scheme can give new insights into the fundamentals of acoustic transport at the nanoscale limit and provides a route towards the manipulation of localized wavefields for on-chip patterning and transport over 2D materials surfaces. |
