Understanding adsorption of hydrogen atoms on graphene.
Adsorption of hydrogen atoms on a single graphite sheet (graphene) has been investigated by first-principles electronic structure means, employing plane-wave based periodic density functional theory. A 5 x 5 surface unit cell has been adopted to study single and multiple adsorptions of H atoms. Binding and barrier energies for sequential sticking have been computed for a number of configuration...
متن کاملUnique Reactivity of Transition Metal Atoms Embedded in Graphene to CO, NO, O2 and O Adsorption:
Taking the adsorption of CO, NO, O2 and O as probes, we investigated the electronic structure of transition metal atoms (TM, TM = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn) embedded in graphene by first-principles-based calculations. We showed that these TM atoms can be effectively stabilized on monovacancy defects on graphene by forming plausible interactions with the C atoms associated with dangling bonds. These...
متن کاملBuckled circular monolayer graphene: a graphene nano-bowl.
We investigate the stability of circular monolayer graphene subjected to a radial load using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. When monolayer graphene is radially stressed, after some small circular strain (∼0.4%) it buckles and bends into a new bowl-like shape. Young's modulus is calculated from the linear relation between stress and strain before the buckling threshold, which is...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of metal atoms (Na, K, Ca) on graphene.
A thorough search of the distribution pattern of Na, K, and Ca atoms on graphene surface, carried out using a synergistic combination of density functional theory and particle swarm optimization algorithm, yielded some unusual results. The equilibrium distribution is concentration and metal dependent; the metal atoms distribute uniformly when their coverage ratio M : C (M = Na, K, Ca) is 1 : 6,...
متن کاملAtom-by-atom observation of grain boundary migration in graphene.
Grain boundary (GB) migration in polycrystalline solids is a materials science manifestation of survival of the fittest, with adjacent grains competing to add atoms to their outer surfaces at each other's expense. This process is thermodynamically favored when it lowers the total GB area in the sample, thereby reducing the excess free energy contributed by the boundaries. In this picture, a cur...
