Physisorption of nucleobases on graphene: a comparative van der Waals study.
The physisorption of the nucleobases adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), thymine (T), and uracil (U) on graphene is studied using several variants of the density functional theory (DFT): the generalized gradient approximation with the inclusion of van der Waals interaction (vdW) based on the TS approach (Tkatchenko and Scheffer 2009 Phys. Rev. Lett. 102 073005) and our simplified version of...
متن کاملAb initio investigation of molecular hydrogen physisorption on graphene and carbon nanotubes
Density-functional theory is used to investigate hydrogen physisorption on a graphene layer and on single wall carbon nanotubes. Both external and internal adsorption sites of 9, 0 and 10, 0 carbon nanotubes have been studied with the hydrogen molecular axis oriented parallel or perpendicular to the nanotube wall. A range of hydrogen molecule binding sites has been examined and it is found that...
متن کاملMolecular physisorption on graphene and carbon nanotubes: A comparative ab initio study
The results of ab initio density functional theory calculations of molecular physisorption on a number of different adsorption sites on a graphene sheet and on a (10, 0) single walled carbon nanotube are discussed. Both the Vosko-Wilk-Nusair (VWN) local density approximation (LDA) functional and the Perdew-Wang (PW91) generalized gradient approximation (GGA) functional were employed in calculat...

متن کاملControlling the orientation of nucleobases by dipole moment interaction with graphene/h-BN interfaces
The interfaces in 2D hybrids of graphene and h-BN provide interesting possibilities of adsorbing and manipulating atomic and molecular entities. In this paper, with the aid of density functional theory, we demonstrate the adsorption characteristics of DNA nucleobases at different interfaces of 2D hybrid nanoflakes of graphene and h-BN. The interfaces provide stronger binding to the nucleobases ...
