The elastic modulus of multilayer graphene is found to be more robust to damage created by high‐energy α‐particle irradiation as compared to monolayer graphene. Theoretical analysis indicates that irradiation of multilayer graphene generates interlayer links that potentially increase the stiffness of the multilayer by passivating local defects.
