30. The lattice constants of graphene and SiC are aG=2.461 and aSiC=3.073, respectively. Assuming a commensurate supercell with size of aG×13 (31.993) or aSiC× (√ 3 × 6) (31.936), the lattice mismatch results in approximately 0.2% compressive strain for the graphene layer.
31. - 6 /°C, respectively. By cooling down from the growth temperature (∼1400°C) to room temperature, the substrate should contract by (αSiC-αG)×1400°C ∼0.8% with respect to graphene. References: N.
