Nano-engineered non-uniform strain in graphene
M. Neek-Amal, L. Covaci, F. M. Peeters
Recent experiments showed that non-uniform strain can be produced by depositing graphene over pillars. We employed atomistic calculations to study the non-uniform strain and the in…
Strain engineered graphene using a nanostructured substrate: I Deformations
M. Neek-Amal, F. M. Peeters
Using atomistic simulations we investigate the morphological properties of graphene deposited on top of a nanostructured substrate. Sinusoidally corrugated surfaces, steps, elongat…
Strain engineered graphene using a nanostructured substrate: II Pseudo-magnetic fields
M. Neek-Amal, F. M. Peeters
The strain induced pseudo-magnetic field in supported graphene deposited on top of a nanostructured substrate is investigated by using atomistic simulations. Step, elongated trench…
Induced polarization and electronic properties of carbon doped boron-nitride nanoribbons
J. Beheshtian, A. Sadeghi, M. Neek-Amal +2
The electronic properties of boron-nitride nanoribbons (BNNRs) doped with a line of carbon atoms are investigated by using density functional calculations. Three different configur…
Thermomechanical properties of graphene: valence force field model approach
A. Lajevardipour, M. Neek-Amal, F. M. Peeters
Using the valence force field model of Perebeinos and Tersoff [Phys. Rev. B {\bf79}, 241409(R) (2009)], different energy modes of suspended graphene subjected to tensile or compres…
Effect of grain boundary on the buckling of graphene nanoribbons
M. Neek-Amal, F. M. Peeters
The buckling of graphene nano-ribbons containing a grain boundary is studied using atomistic simulations where free and supported boundary conditions are invoked. We found that whe…
