a Average angle αc as a function of λ/b for a monolayer graphene platelet a = 1.7 nm. Data corresponds to pure graphene in water (open disk), pure graphene in NMP (open square), pure graphene in CPO (open triangle) and surface-modified graphene in water (full disks). Error bars on both αc and λ correspond to standard deviations in MD measurements. b Average time period P of the orbit, as a function of λ/b. Data corresponds to a no-slip platelet in water (open disk), no-slip platelet in NMP (open square), no-slip platelet in CPO (open triangle) and surface-modified graphene in water (full disks). Error bars on P are the standard deviation measured on several rotations.
