Density functional study of graphene on insulating substrates

This is a study of the structural and electronic behavior and properties of graphene on α-quartz and α-sapphire using Density Functional Theory. We construct initial structures using the above 2 substrates, place a layer of graphene on them and subsequently allow the atoms to relax. After relaxation...
