Graphene is an exciting material with many potential applications. It has a large theoretical specific surface area, high intrinsic mobility, high Young's modulus, and high thermal conductivity. Graphene also has good electrical conductivity and optical transmittance of around 97.7%. The properties of graphene include its honeycomb lattice structure composed of carbon atoms bonded together with sigma bonds. Each carbon atom has a pi orbital contributing to a delocalized network of electrons. Graphene also has intrinsic ripples observed through transmission electron microscopy with a lateral dimension of 8-10 nm and height displacement of 0.7-1 nm. These ripples can be induced, suggesting local electrical and optical properties could be altered through 'ripple engineering
