The main challenge to obtain a reliable value of the ISS using conventional measuring methods was the unavailability of sufficiently large single crystalline graphite. Here we present a novel experimental method to measure the ISS, and obtain the value as -0.14 GPa. Our result can serve as an important basis for understanding mechanical behavior of graphite or graphene-based materials.展开更多
