石墨烯晶界的反常强度特性

Anomalous Strength Characteristics of Tilt Grain Boundaries in Graphene

Rassin Grantab, Vivek B. Shenoy, Rodney S. Ruoff

摘要:

利用分子动力学模拟和第一性原理计算,我们研究了在金属衬底上CVD生长石墨烯过程中出现的石墨烯片倾斜晶界的结构和机械强度。令人惊讶的是,我们发现,对于在Z字形和扶手椅取向附近的倾斜边界,具有5-7个缺陷对的较高密度的大角度边界比每单位长度由较少缺陷组成的小角度边界更强。有趣的是,我们的结果中的趋势不能用连续格里菲斯型断裂力学标准来解释,该标准预测相反的趋势,因为它没有考虑到导致失效机制的关键键。我们已经确定了高应变的债券在7元环,导致失败的片材,我们已经发现,大角度的边界能够更好地适应应变7环。我们的研究结果为设计生长方法提供了指导,以获得强度接近原始石墨烯的晶界结构。

英文摘要:

Using molecular dynamics simulations and first principles calculations, we have studied the structure and mechanical strength of tilt grain boundaries in graphene sheets that arise during CVD growth of graphene on metal substrates. Surprisingly, we find that for tilt boundaries in the vicinity of both the zig-zag and arm-chair orientations, large angle boundaries with a higher density of 5-7 defect pairs are stronger than the low-angle boundaries which are comprised of fewer defects per unit length. Interestingly, the trends in our results cannot be explained by a continuum Griffith-type fracture mechanics criterion, which predicts the opposite trend due to that fact that it does not account for the critical bonds that are responsible for the failure mechanism. We have identified the highly-strained bonds in the 7-member rings that lead to the failure of the sheets, and we have found that large angle boundaries are able to better accommodate the strained 7-rings. Our results provide guidelines for designing growth methods to obtain grain boundary structures that can have strengths close to that of pristine graphene.
