I would like to learn the details coding GFET through SILVACO but need reference. Hoping anyone could help me
A single layer of carbon atoms arranged in such a honeycomb structure forms a single graphene sheet. Several sheets stacked one on top of the other are regarded as multi-layer graphene, up to the point where the material becomes graphite (usually over about 30 layers, although clear standardization is severely lacking at the moment). Graphite, a 3D crystal composed of weakly coupled graphene layers, is a relatively common material - used in pencil tips, batteries and many more. In graphene, each carbon atom is covalently bonded to three other carbon atoms. Thanks to the strength of the covalent bonds between carbon atoms, graphene boasts great stability and a very high tensile strength (the force in which you can stretch something before it breaks). Since graphene is flat, every atom is on the surface and is accessible from both sides, so there is more interaction with surrounding molecules. Also, the carbon atoms are bonded to only three other atoms, although they have the capability to bond to a fourth atom. This capability, combined with the aforementioned tensile strength and high surface area to volume ratio of graphene may make it appealing for use in composite materials. Graphene also enjoys electron mobility that is higher than any known material and researchers are developing methods to use this property in electronics. These futuristic properties of graphene made a future mobile oil with inclusion of gasoline products.
I would like to ask about the best conditions of sonication of graphite oxide in terms of apparatus (probe or bath), time and power in order to effectively exfoliate the graphite oxide without damaging the structure of GO sheets.

1 Optimize the graphene system structure under Ca decorated.
2 throw in two hydrogen atoms at a distance of 0.7A for molecular dynamics analysis.
But in the analysis I found that the two hydrogen atoms separated, and flow upward, and did not be adsorbed, is this right?.

I am attempting to comprehend the performance of graphene/n-type semiconductor Schottky diodes in photodetector applications.
Given that silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge) have similar electron affinities, 4.05 eV and 4 eV respectively, it might be expected that their Schottky barrier heights with graphene would be nearly identical.
However, the dark current in graphene/Ge contacts is significantly larger, as evidenced by both literature data and my experimental observations.
Beyond Schottky barrier height, what additional factors should be considered to understand this discrepancy in dark current?

I am working on Graphene oxide/TiO2 nanocomposites. The samples are prepared by hydrothermal method. In order to investigate the electrical properties of these semiconducting material, please suggest me to prepare samples for Hall measurement.
For modelling graphene, the CST software includes both a graphene and a graphene-Eps model. The graphene model expressed in the CST with a thickness of 0.3 nm is considered a single layer of graphene, while the graphene-EPS model is expressed as a multilayer of graphene sheets with a suitable thickness. Whenever I use the ''graphene-EPS'' model and increase the chemical potential, it does not affect any changes while using the "graphene'' model. Even at 0 eV chemical potential, it reflects all waves.Now my question is: why does it reflect all waves, even in insulting phases? I suspect that I may have made mistakes while creating the graphene material.

I prepare a 3D printed electrode for micro battery application. But it develops many cracks (shown in the image below) after drying at a very low temperature of around 35 degrees Celsius.
My ink contains active material (70%), binder (10%), carbon nanotube (10%), and Graphene oxide (10%). The solvent is either NMP or DMF, and the substrate is a Polyimide sheet.
Please suggest a way to overcome this issue.
Currently I'm using Optimized Norm-Conserving Vanderbilt Pseudopotential from the link https://github.com/pipidog/ONCVPSP.
I'm remember this discussion in the past, and to get the correct value we need to add more orbitals to the pseudo-potential, if I remember correctly. Is there a reference that discusses this precision issue in Quantum ESPRESSO?
Is there an openly available pseudo-potential I can use to improve my data?

bcz in the article the real part of conductivity was 3.5 s/m
thank you all.
Greetings, everybody. I have generated a graphene sheet using the VMD program and saved the resulting file in the .gro format. Now I would like to use the GROMACS program to model the interaction between graphene and a solvent. To proceed, I require the topl.top and .itp files for my graphene sheet. If feasible, I would like to immobilize or freeze the graphene atoms prior to energy minimization in the simulation to avoid the folding or transfer of the graphene atoms. If somebody has developed such a system, please guide me. I will be highly thankful to you.
How can we numerically calculate integration like this in the picture, in which the denominator of the function becomes zero? any help will be appreciated.
This kind of integral usually appears in graphene and semi-metals. The denominator becomes zero at several points in the range of calculation, where Ω=2*ε.
I am doing experiment to grow graphene using CVD. But I found the quartz tube range (around Oven) where the yellow strains appear. I use the CH4 to synthesis the graphene under 750℃. Dear all, could you tell me what materials the yellow strains? and how can I remove it?. If possible, I can use the hydrogen plasma to remove it.
Hello.
I have some strange problem during large area CVD polycrystalline graphene transfer by using polymer(polycarbonate(PC)).
When I rinsed PC+graphene on SiO2 to remove PC, the graphene was dissolved in acetone....
I know it looks strange but some times it did not happen, many times...
Also, when I do same thing with microscale, small graphene, it never happened.
It does not look like graphene itself was dissolved in acetone.
Maybe, it was polycrystalline, large size (few mm scale).
So if I put strain on grapehen, the graphene could be removed with PC?
I changed the time and temperature of annealing process to make good contact between substrate and transferred graphen, but It did not work.
Only with Polycrystalline, large size grapehen(not just graphene. Many other semi materials also), and some time it was fine, sometimes not.
Thank you for listening.
I'm intended to incorporate sio2 (1 micron powder size) with graphene oxide and eventually have a fine and homogenous powder size of these combination.
Thanks in advance

I am panning to make Graphene Oxide following the methodology on the paper But the comment "My reaction using the improved GO synthesis caught on fire immediately and the graphite was smouldering. You guys said slight exotherm!" on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTooYDp1KD4 (explanation given by Professor James Tour himself) caught my attention. Since, I am working at a new lab, I don't want to cause any trouble while following this procedure.
Please share with me if you have faced any problems while following this procedure and also suggest me the improvisations if you have any.
Hi, I was using the Malvern Zetasizer to measure the zeta potential of GNPs in simulated cement pore solution. when I measure the zeta potential of GNPs in simulate cement pore solution, the software shows the message "Problem with cell drive circuit". In the SOPs, the materials is "Polystyrene latex", the dispersant is added manually with a dielectric constant of 5.2 (I checked in the literature, the dielectric constant is around 5.2 of simulated pore solution). But the zeta potential cannot be measured with this SOPs, and shows the message "Problem with cell drive circuit". The GNPs is conductive and the concentration is 0.02 g/L. Do you know how to measure the zeta potential of GNPs in simulated cement pore solution?

Hello,
What are the the best methods (in terms of time and complexity) to exfoliate graphite to synthesize graphene?
I have tried to do it using DMF as a solvent aplplying sonication followed by washing and filteration. As the XRDs of both reactant and product are typical, it did not work out well. I probably did the mistake of taking all the solid product inc graphite preciptate at the bottom while I only should have used the suspended graphene layers. I am not sure if this interpetation is accuarte enough.
Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated!!
I prepared a graphene oxide-coated granular activated carbon composite for my research. I characterized the composite using SEM and found graphene sheets on the GAC surface.

Could anyone please explain this phenomenon?

Hello community,
I would like to ask for recommendations to perform experiments related to an application of nanomaterials based on graphene oxide in PAPER form containing palladium nanoparticles.
Preferably one that does not involve to much material (the more practical, the better). The main idea is to exalt the benefits of using graphene oxide in a paper like shape in comparison to the powdered form.

I need to know the electron mobility of monolayer graphene oxide (not reduced Graphene Oxide) if possible. I need an experimental value not the values found by modelling or simulations. If not monolayer, mobility of GO (not rGO) thin film is also appreciated. With appropriate reference of course. Thank you very much.
I have successfully synthesized both graphene and graphene oxide in solution. However, I am uncertain about the appropriate method for drying them. I am aware that freeze-drying is the most effective technique, but unfortunately, I lack access to the necessary equipment. I attempted vacuum drying at room temperature, but my pump unexpectedly malfunctioned. Now, I am considering air drying as an alternative, but I am worried it might negatively impact the quality of the materials.
Could air drying potentially lead to the undesirable re-stacking of graphene and graphene oxide layers, resulting in the formation of graphite and graphite oxide?
If you have a simulation file or an description that is related, please send it for me .thanks a lot.

I have prepared graphene-doped with copper nanoparticles in different concentrations from 0.1% -10%. Up to 1% of copper addition, the material is showing enhanced conductive property; however on further increasing the concentration up to 2.5%, conductivity decreased. Further addition of copper shows increase in conductivity, but is still less than 1%. Can anyone help me in analyzing the trend?
Is the increase in conductivity in 2.5%-5% occurred because of the change in bulk properties of the graphene?

In this question, I am asking about the benefits of using graphene in construction projects. Graphene has been shown to offer superior strength, durability, and energy efficiency compared to other materials. Graphene is highly weather resistant, meaning construction projects can last longer and need less maintenance. Additionally, graphene is highly conductive, meaning that energy efficiency can be maximized in constructing buildings and other structures.
I was solving the tight binding model for graphene mono layer and found the zero band gaps at dirac points but then I saw some literatures stating that hBN which is a 2D material , also known as white graphene , has a BG of ~6ev , I am not able to understand what makes graphene different from hBN , is it the symmetry of Carbon atoms over B and N atoms or anything else ,Because tight binding model will apply the same way on hBN as in graphene

Dear all, I am evaluating the Young's modulus of graphene via Molecular Dynamics simulation with OPLS-AA potential. The method I am using is a tensile test by "pulling apart the opposite rows of carbon rings of a monolayer graphene sheet at a specified speed an registering the strain - potential energy curve.
Results are in good agreement with literature when I run the simulations at 300° K.
At 1 ° K I obtain results which are substantially similar to the ones at T = 300 °K. It seems to me that the OPLS-AA coefficients as generated by the LigParGen website, or found in literature, do no have any temperature dependent relationship. So I am not surprised to find results substantially independent from the temperature of the simulation. But I found a paper in which the authors sustain to have calculated graphene's modulus at 1°K and their data are different from mine, even when I apply exactly their MD procedure and conditions.
I am really puzzled. Any comment, suggestion or explanation would be very welcome. Thanks a lot

Hello,
I want to apologize if the answer to my question is already somewhere around, have been searching a lot and haven't found it yet.
I do a TBA on Graphene. Going through the article attached below, I got the hamiltonian's eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and calculated fermi velocity function near the K and K' points of the Graphene Brillouin zone. What I need to proceed with my calculations are wave functions of Graphene's pi and pi* orbitals. Now, I know that there is a LCAO method to achieve this, but despite going through a lot of articles, I have found only generic math and procedure explanations. As I am not that much into LCAO, can you please give me some hint how to apply it to Graphene (where to start)?
Thank you in advance,
