$\alpha$-graphyne is a two-dimensional sheet of $sp$-$sp^2$ hybridized carbon atoms in a honeycomb lattice. While the geometrical structure is similar to that of graphene, the hybridized triple bonds give rise to electronic structure that…

A simple prototypical model of aromatic pi-pi stacking system -- benzene sandwich dimer is investigated by ab initio calculations based on second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) and Minnesota hybrid functional M06-2X.

In this work density functional theory (DFT) and diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) methods are used to calculate the binding energy of a H atom chemisorbed on the graphene surface. The Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) value of the binding energy is…

A van der Waals (vdW) density functional was implemented in the mixed basis approach previously developed for studying two dimensional systems, in which the vdW interaction plays an important role. The basis functions here are taken to be…

A mixed basis approach based on density functional theory is employed for low dimensional systems. The basis functions are taken to be plane waves for the periodic direction multiplied by B-spline polynomials in the non-periodic direction.…

Energetic and geometric aspects of the permeation of low-Z atoms through graphene sheets are investigated. Energy barriers and deformations are calculated via density functional theory for the permeation of H, He, Li and Be atoms at several…

We report diffusion quantum Monte Carlo calculations of the interlayer binding energy of bilayer graphene. We find the binding energies of the AA- and AB-stacked structures at the equilibrium separation to be 11.5(9) and 17.7(9) meV/atom,…

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 reasonably large 5x5 surface unit…

We have investigated interlayer interactions in the bilayer PtTe$_{2}$ system, which influence the electronic energy bands near the Fermi levels. Our diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) calculations for the high-symmetry bilayer stackings (AA, AB,…

We have studied the interaction of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with the basal plane of graphite using thermal desorption spectroscopy. Desorption kinetics of benzene, naphthalene, coronene and ovalene at sub-monolayer coverages yield…

We have studied two interchange layer systems, (i) free standing partly hydrogenated graphene (graphone), and (ii) graphone on the Nickel (111) surface, to assess various density functional theory based computational schemes incorporating…

The potential energy surface (PES) of interlayer interaction of twisted bilayer graphene with vacancies in one of the layers is investigated via density functional theory (DFT) calculations with van der Waals corrections. These calculations…

The interlayer gallery between two adjacent sheets of van der Waals materials is expected to modify properties of atoms and molecules confined at the atomic interfaces. Here, we directly image individual hydrogen atom intercalated between…

We present a density functional theory parametrized hybrid k$\cdot$p tight binding model for electronic properties of atomically thin films of transition-metal dichalcogenides, 2H-$MX_2$ ($M$=Mo, W; $X$=S, Se). We use this model to analyze…

We implement a total-energy minimization scheme to allow for relaxation of atomic positions in density functional calculations for two-dimensional (2D) systems using a mixed basis set. The basis functions consist of products of 2D plane…

Using Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT), we have studied the interaction between various polyaromatic hydrocarbon molecules. The systems range from mono-cyclic benzene up to hexabenzocoronene (hbc). For several conventional…

We construct Sierpinski-carpet (SC) based on AA or AB bilayer graphene by atom vacancies, namely, SC-AA and SC-AB, to investigate the effects of interlayer coupling on the electronic properties of fractals. Compared with monolayer graphene…

The combination of the surface science techniques (STM, XPS, ARPES) and density-functional theory calculations was used to study the decoupling of graphene from Ni(111) by oxygen intercalation. The formation of the antiferromagnetic (AFM)…

Using a Green's function approach, we study phonon-mediated superconducting pairing symmetries that may arise in bilayer graphene where the monolayers are displaced in-plane with respect to each other. We consider a generic coupling…
