Melting temperature of graphene

J. H. Los, K. V. Zakharchenko, M. I. Katsnelson +1

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 liqu…

Suppression of anharmonicities in crystalline membranes by external strain

Rafael Roldán, Annalisa Fasolino, Kostyantyn V. Zakharchenko +1

In practice, physical membranes are exposed to a certain amount of external strain (tension or compression), due to the environment where they are placed. As a result, the behavior…

Self-Consistent Screening Approximation for Flexible Membranes: Application to Graphene

K. V. Zakharchenko, R. Roldan, A. Fasolino +1

Crystalline membranes at finite temperatures have an anomalous behavior of the bending rigidity that makes them more rigid in the long wavelength limit. This issue is particularly…

Atomistic simulations of structural and thermodynamic properties of bilayer graphene

K. V. Zakharchenko, J. H. Los, M. I. Katsnelson +1

We study the structural and thermodynamic properties of bilayer graphene, a prototype two-layer membrane, by means of Monte Carlo simulations based on the empirical bond order pote…

Scaling Properties of Flexible Membranes from Atomistic Simulations: Application to Graphene

J. H. Los, M. I. Katsnelson, O. V. Yazyev +2

Structure and thermodynamics of crystalline membranes are characterized by the long wavelength behavior of the normal-normal correlation function G(q). We calculate G(q) by Monte C…

Finite temperature lattice properties of graphene beyond the quasiharmonic approximation

K. V. Zakharchenko, M. I. Katsnelson, A. Fasolino

The thermal and mechanical stability of graphene is important for many potential applications in nanotechnology. We calculate the temperature dependence of lattice parameter, elast…
