We show that the Raman spectrum of graphene is sensitive to the surface chemistry of the substrate where the atomic plane is deposited. Two types of functionalized SiO 2 surface are experimentally compared: OH-terminated and NH 2 -terminated. In the case of NH 2 -terminated surface, the graphene Raman bands are significantly redshifted with respect to the peaks observed on the hydroxylated surface. The observed phonon softening can be ascribed to a biaxial strain induced into graphene by its interaction with the substrate. Therefore, the control of the substrate surface chemistry may be envisaged as a route to graphene strain engineering.
