Graphene smaller amplitude and higher frequency. This phenomenon, named "membrane effect", was predicted by Lifshitz in 1952. A prediction that was published in 2015 suggested a melting point of ≈4125 K. Recent and more sophisticated modelling has increased this temperature to at least 5000 K. At 6000 K (the sun's surface having an effective temperature of 5,777 K) graphene melts into an agglomeration of loosely coupled doubled bonded chains, before becoming a gas. The carbon–carbon bond length in graphene is about 0.142 nanometers. Graphene sheets stack to form graphite with an interplanar spacing of . Graphene is the strongest material ever
Rotations and reflections in two dimensions Rot(−"φ"). Every reflection Ref("θ") is its own inverse. Composition has closure and is associative, since matrix multiplication is associative. Notice that both Ref("θ") and Rot("θ") have been represented with orthogonal matrices. These matrices all have a determinant whose absolute value is unity. Rotation matrices have a determinant of +1, and reflection matrices have a determinant of −1. The set of all orthogonal two-dimensional matrices together with matrix multiplication form the orthogonal group: "O"(2). Rotations and reflections in two dimensions In geometry, two-dimensional rotations and reflections are two kinds of Euclidean plane isometries which are related to one another. A rotation
