Abstract
The change in bending rigidity with temperature for 2D materials is highly debated: theoretical works predict both increase and decrease. Here we present measurements of , for a 2D material: -stacked bilayer graphene. We obtain from phonon dispersion curves measured with helium atom scattering in the temperature range 320–400 K. We find that the bending rigidity increases with temperature. Assuming a linear dependence over the measured temperature region we obtain by fitting the data. We discuss this result in the context of existing predictions and room temperature measurements.
