Crystalline two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene possess unique physical properties absent in their bulk form, enabling many novel device applications. Yet, little is known about their amorphous counterparts, which can be…
Based on first-principles method we predict a new low-energy Stone-Wales graphene SW40, which has an orthorhombic lattice with Pbam symmetry and 40 carbon atoms in its crystalline cell forming well-arranged Stone-Wales patterns. The…
During the synthesis of ultra-thin materials with hexagonal lattice structure Stone-Wales (SW) type of defects are quite likely to be formed and the existence of such topological defects in the graphene-like structures results in dramatical…
Using evolutionary algorithm for crystal structure prediction, we present a new stable two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotrope composed of polymerized as-indacenes (PAI) in a zigzag pattern, namely PAI-graphene whose energy is lower than most…
Using systematic evolutionary structure searching we propose a new carbon allotrope, phagraphene, standing for penta-hexa-hepta-graphene, because the structure is composed of 5-6-7 carbon rings. This two-dimensional (2D) carbon structure is…
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…
Observations of topological defects associated with Stone-Wales-type transformations (i.e., bond rotations) in high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images of carbon nanostructures are at odds with the equilibrium…
We present a comprehensive characterization of Cyclo-graphyne (CGY), an emerging 2D carbon allotrope with a porous structure of sp/sp$^2$-hybridized carbon atoms. Using density functional theory, we systematically investigate its…
In this work a systematic approach to the search for all-$sp^2$ bonded carbon allotropes with low density is presented. In particular, we obtain a number of novel energetically stable crystal structures, whose arrangement is closely related…
Stone-Wales (SW) defects, analogous to dislocations in crystals, play an important role in mechanical behavior of $sp^2$-bonded carbon based materials. Here, we show using first-principles calculations that a marked anisotropy in the…
The abundant bonding possibilities of Carbon stimulate the design of numerous carbon allotropes, promising the foundation for exploring structure-functionality relationships. Herein, utilizing the space bending strategy, we successfully…
Due to the success achieved by graphene, several 2D carbon-based allotropes were theoretically predicted and experimentally synthesized. We used density functional theory and reactive molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the…
We propose an extensive report on the simulation of electronic transport in 2D graphene in presence of structural defects. Amongst the large variety of such defects in sp$^2$ carbon-based materials, we focus on the Stone-Wales defect and on…
Potentially new, single-atom thick semiconducting 2D-graphene-like material, called Anisotropic-cyclicgraphene, have been generated by the two stage searching strategy linking molecular and ab initio approach. The candidate derived from the…

Using the density functional theory, we have demonstrated the chemical functionalization of semiconducting graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with Stone-Wales (SW) defects by carboxyl (COOH) groups. It is found that the geometrical structures and…
The interaction of Stone-Wales topological defects in graphene has been studied through computer simulation. This simulation has revealed configurations of two defects with energies below the energy of a monolayer with two spaced defects.…
We propose a new allotrope of graphane, named as tricycle graphane,with a 4up/2down UUUDUD hydrogenation in each hexagonal carbon ring,which is different from previously proposed allotropes with UUDUUD(boat-1) and UUUUDD (boat-2) types of…
We present a new semi-empirical potential for graphene, which includes also an out-of-plane energy term. This novel potential is developed from density functional theory (DFT) calculations for small numbers of atoms, and can be used for…
The Stone-Wales defect is a well-known and significant defective structure in carbon materials, impacting their mechanical, chemical, and electronic properties. Recently, a novel metal-carbon nanomaterial named Volleyballene has been…
