Defects in the lattice are of primal importance to tune graphene chemical, thermal and electronic properties. Electron-beam irradiation is an easy method to induce defects in graphene following pre-designed patterns, but no systematic study…
Controlled defect creation is a prerequisite for the detailed study of disorder effects in materials. Here, we irradiate a graphene/Ir(111)-interface with low-energy Ar+ to study the induced structural changes. Combining computer…
Chemical, mechanical, thermal and/or electronic properties of bulk or low-dimensional materials can be engineered by introducing structural defects to form novel functionalities. When using particles irradiation, these defects can be…
Graphite, as a material for high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGR), will be exposed to harsh environment. The stability of graphite structure under irradiation is of a key importance for efficiency, reliability and security of the…
Freestanding graphene displays an outstanding resilience to electron irradiation at low electron energies. Point defects in graphene are, however, subject to beam driven dynamics. This means that high resolution micrographs of point…
Understanding the magnetic properties of graphenic nanostructures is instrumental in future spintronics applications. These magnetic properties are known to depend crucially on the presence of defects. Here we review our recent theoretical…
Structural as well as magnetization studies have been carried out on graphite samples irradiated by neutrons over 50 years in the CIRUS research reactor at Trombay. Neutron diffraction studies reveal that the defects in irradiated graphite…
We show, using ab initio total energy density functional theory, that the so-called Wigner defects, an interstitial carbon atom right besides a vacancy, which are present in irradiated graphite can also exist in bundles of carbon nanotubes.…
Graphene is expected to be rather insensitive to ionizing particle radiation. We demonstrate that single layers of exfoliated graphene sustain significant damage from irradiation with slow highly charged ions. We have investigated the ion…
Using first-principles calculations, we explored all the 21 defect-pairs in GaN and considered 6 configurations with different defect-defect distances for each defect-pair. 15 defect-pairs with short defect-defect distances are found to be…
The interaction between carbon nanostructures like quantum dots and radiation can generate different effects inside the nanomaterial, with the use of computational methods such effects can be predicted and optimize the material allowing a…
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 computational study on the topology, energetics and structural deformations for a large number of experimentally observed defect configurations in graphene. We find that both the number of lost hexagonal carbon rings and…
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to study the formation process of nanopores in a suspended graphene sheet irradiated by using energetic ions though a mask. By controlling the ion parameters including mass, energy and…
In order to harvest the many promising properties of graphene in (electronic) applications, a technique is required to cut, shape or sculpt the material on a nanoscale without damage to its atomic structure, as this drastically influences…
In this work, we study the damage in crystalline molybdenum material samples due to neutron bombardment in a primary knock-on atom range of 0.5-10 keV at room temperature. We perform machine learned molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with…
The physical mechanisms for damage formation in graphite films induced by femtosecond laser pulses are analyzed using a microscopic electronic theory. We describe the nonequilibrium dynamics of electrons and lattice by performing molecular…
Void-defect is a possible origin of ferromagnetic feature on pure carbon materials. In our previous paper, void-defect on graphene-nanoribbon show highly polarized spin configuration. In this paper, we studied cases for graphene molecules…
Crystallographic defects play a key role in determining the properties of crystalline materials. The new class of two-dimensional materials, foremost graphene, have enabled atomically resolved studies of defects, such as vacancies, grain…
High-dose irradiation of nanostructures consisting of multiple graphene shells, such as spherical 'carbon onions' (CO) or cylindrical multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT), induces shell shrinkage by bond reconstruction around…
