We present an approach to the melting of graphene based on nucleation theory for a first order phase transition from the 2D solid to the 3D liquid via an intermediate quasi-2D liquid. The applicability of nucleation theory, supported by the…
Density-functional tight-binding and classical molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the structural deformations and melting of planar carbon nano-clusters $C_{N}$ with N=2-55. The minimum energy configurations for…
The understanding of the structural and thermal properties of membranes, low-dimensional flexible systems in a space of higher dimension, is pursued in many fields from string theory to chemistry and biology. The case of a two-dimensional…
We investigate the melting phenomena of pristine, free-standing infinite and finite size graphene sheets via molecular dynamics simulation using AIREBO potential as implemented in the LAMMPS package. In our simulations, the temperature of…
The melting of fluorographene is very unusual and depends strongly on the degree of fluorination. For temperatures below 1000 K, fully fluorinated graphene (FFG) is thermo-mechanically more stable than graphene but at T$_m\approx$2800 K FFG…
The abrupt loss of mechanical stability of two-dimensional graphene-type crystals at a certain transition temperature is described. At this temperature, the graphene state with practically zero-speed bending sound and developed bending…
We present the first large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of hexane on graphite that completely reproduces all experimental features of the melting transition. The canonical ensemble simulations required and used the most realistic…
Investigation of melting line of graphite and liquid carbon has long history. However, up to now there are still numerous controversies in the field, for instance, the melting temperatures obtained in different experiments are in very bad…
Thermal fluctuations of single layer hydrogenated graphene (graphane) are investigated using large scale atomistic simulations. By analyzing the mean square value of the height fluctuations $<h^2>$ and the height-height correlation function…
We report on the first measurement of the thermal conductivity of a suspended single layer graphene. The measurements were performed using a non-contact optical technique. The near room-temperature values of the thermal conductivity in the…
Using atomistic simulations we determine the roughness and the thermal properties of a suspended graphane sheet. As compared to graphene we found that hydrogenated graphene has: 1) a larger thermal contraction, 2) the roughness exponent at…
Temperature fluctuations in the normal direction of planar crystals such as graphene are quite violent and may be expected to influence strongly their melting properties. In particular, they will modify the Lindemann melting criterium. We…
The thermal stability of $\alpha$-, $\beta$-, 6,6,12-graphyne and graphdiyne was studied by a statistic model, which was seriously tested by classical molecular dynamics simulations. By first-principles calculations of related potential…
We have demonstrated a new method for the large-area graphene growth, which can lead to a scalable low-cost high-throughput production technology. The method is based on growing single-layer or few-layer graphene films from a molten phase.…
Dynamics of the buckled Stone-Wales defect in graphene is studied by means of computer simulation. Thermally activated switching between two degenerate sine-wave-like configurations of the defect is traced in real time. Transition…
Graphene wetting by polymers is a critical issue to both the success of polymer-aided transfer of large size sheets onto specific substrates and to the development of well performing nanocomposites. Here we show for the first time that high…
The heating of electrons in graphene by laser irradiation, and its effects on the lattice structure, are studied. Values for the temperature of the electron system in realistic situations are obtained. For sufficiently high electron…
We systematically investigate the chemical vapor deposition growth of graphene on Ge(110) as a function of the deposition temperature close to the Ge melting point. By merging spectroscopic and morphological information, we find that the…
The process of hydrogen desorption from graphane (graphene sheet saturated by hydrogen adsorbed from both sides) has been studied using the method of molecular dynamics. The temperature dependences of the time of desorption onset for…
Melting experiments require rapid data acquisition due to instabilities of the molten sample and optical drifting due to the high required laser power. In this work, the melting curve of zirconium has been determined for the first time up…
