Graphene research and applications

First-principles calculations of structure optimization, phonon modes, and finite temperature molecular dynamics predict that silicon and germanium can have stable, two-dimensional, low-buckled, honeycomb structures. Similar to graphene, these puckered structures are ambipolar and their charge carriers can behave like…

Combining equilibrium and nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations with accurate carbon potentials, we determine the thermal conductivity lambda of carbon nanotubes and its dependence on temperature. Our results suggest an unusually high value, lambda approximately 6600 W/m K, for an isolated (10,10) nanotube at…

Using first-principles plane-wave calculations, we investigate two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb structure of group-IV elements and their binary compounds as well as the compounds of group III-V elements. Based on structure optimization and phonon-mode calculations, we determine that 22 different honeycomb materials are…

We have grown an atom-thin, ordered, two-dimensional multi-phase film in situ through germanium molecular beam epitaxy using a gold (111) surface as a substrate. Its growth is similar to the formation of silicene layers on silver (111) templates. One of the phases, forming large domains, as observed in scanning tunnel…

Recent studies have revealed that single-layer transition-metal oxides and dichalcogenides (MX 2 ) might offer properties superior to those of graphene. So far, only very few MX 2 compounds have been synthesized as suspended single layers, and some of them have been exfoliated as thin sheets. Using first-principles st…

Large-area, few-layer graphene is grown on a poly-nickel substrate using optimized CVD conditions. High temperature, short growth time, and an optimal gas mixing ratio (C2H2/H2 = 2/45) are found to be necessary to synthesize highly crystalline few-layer grapheme, which may find applications in electronic devices. The…

This paper presents a systematic study of two- and one-dimensional honeycomb structures of boron nitride (BN) using first-principles plane-wave method. In order to reveal dimensionality effects, a brief study of all allotropic forms of three-dimensional (3D) BN crystals and truly one-dimensional atomic BN chains are a…
