Google |=| primary literature

Use whatever journal search software your institution has, such as
SciFinder, and look there.  Some of the original papers are referenced
in the manual too, I think.

There is an appendix in the manual, lists all the scripts with GROMACS
and what they can do.  Have a browse through that.  g_msd will do the
job here.

Run a simulation of the graphene and see if it does anything "strange".
You noted previously that it curled up, well, that is strange.

And your graphene has to be infinite, otherwise, by definition, it isn't
graphene.  Something in the same class, which has n rings in the
molecule.  To handle graphene correctly you have to set it up so that it
repeats across the PBC, like people set up with carbon nanotubes.
