Nanoengineering defect structures on graphene.

چکیده
We present a new way of nanoengineering graphene by using defect domains. These regions have ring structures that depart from the usual honeycomb lattice, though each carbon atom still has three nearest neighbors. A set of stable domain structures is identified by using density functional theory, including blisters, ridges, ribbons, and metacrystals. All such structures are made solely out of carbon; the smallest encompasses just 16 atoms. Blisters, ridges, and metacrystals rise up out of the sheet, while ribbons remain flat. In the vicinity of vacancies, the reaction barriers to formation are sufficiently low that such defects could be synthesized through the thermally activated restructuring of coalesced adatoms.

Tuning thermal contact conductance at graphene-copper interface via surface nanoengineering.
Due to rapidly increasing power densities in nanoelectronics, efficient heat removal has become one of the most critical issues in thermal management and nanocircuit design. In this study, we report a surface nanoengineering design that can reduce the interfacial thermal resistance between graphene and copper substrate by 17%. Contrary to the conventional view that a rough surface tends to give...

متن کاملExploration of defect structures on graphene.
For graphene obtained by chemical vapor deposition, there are large amount of defects in the crystalline structures. The carbon atoms from the feedstock can attack the graphene surface in annealing process, which may be one of the reasons affecting the structure of graphene. In order to explore some defect structures on graphene, we investigate the adsorption of carbon adatoms and vacancies on ...
