Unraveling the Secrets of Graphene by Multiscale Simulations
Johan Carlsson, Senior Scientist, Contract research, Accelrys

Graphene is one of the most exciting nano-materials at the moment from the perspective of applications based on graphene. On one hand, graphene has been predicted to be the ultimate material for the next generation of nano-electronics. On the other hand, graphene is the first truly two-dimensional material and the electrons behave as relativistic particles, even without being accelerated to the speed of light. These properties were theoretically predicted more than 60 years ago, but it has been difficult to synthesize single graphene sheets until recently.

This presentation will illustrate how modern simulation methods can be used to understand the influence of defects on the properties of graphene. The first part of the presentation will cover how ab-initio methods combined with thermodynamics can be used to determine which defects might occur during the synthesis and subsequent processing such as oxidation. It will also be shown how electronic structure calculations can be used to characterize the influence of these defects on the electronic properties of graphene and which implications it might have for device applications.

The second part of the talk will address how atomistic simulations can provide insight on the implications of the two-dimensionality for the stability of individual graphene sheets.
