Abstract

Abstract:

The research on the resonant characteristics of graphene is essential due to its excellence and vital significance for the future development and application of resonant sensors. Currently, the resonant characteristics of graphene are studied by experimental measurements and theoretical analysis, and the theoretical analysis is composed of the methods based on nano-scale mechanic and on classical mechanics. And the related theoretical researches on graphene are urgent because it is difficult to obtain the resonant characteristics of graphene accurately with experiments. In this paper, research methods, achievements and controversial problems are reviewed, including progress and consensus of the researches on the resonant characteristic of graphene e.g., the experiments of the resonant graphene sensor, the theoretical research methods and its classification, present situation, advantages, disadvantages, as well as the developing trend.
