Molecular dynamics study of effects of geometric defects on the mechanical properties of graphene
Graphene is a flat monolayer of carbon atoms arranged in a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice. It is the strongest material ever measured with strength exceeding more than hundred times of steel. However, the strength of graphene is critically influenced by temperature, vacancy defects (missing carbo...
