摘要:

与大多数材料相反,石墨烯表现出负的热膨胀系数(TEC),即当加热时其收缩。这种收缩是由于低能量的面外振动模式的热激发。据报道,这些弯曲模式控制着悬浮石墨烯的电子传输和机械响应。在这项工作中,我们系统地研究了悬浮石墨烯膜的TEC中的缺陷的影响。低密度单空位的受控引入使石墨烯TEC降低,对于$5\times10^{12}$ ~cm $^{-2}$的缺陷密度,降低高达一个数量级。我们的分子动力学模拟再现所观察到的趋势,并表明,TEC减少是由于单空位在其周围区域所产生的应变场引起的平面外波动的抑制。这些结果突出了缺陷在“现实生活”石墨烯特性中的关键作用,并为未来电子和机械缺陷工程的建议铺平了道路。

英文摘要:

Contrary to most materials, graphene exhibits a negative thermal expansion coefficient (TEC), i.e it contracts when heated. This contraction is due to the thermal excitation of low energy out-of-plane vibration modes. These flexural modes have been reported to govern the electronic transport and the mechanical response of suspended graphene. In this work, we systematically investigate the influence of defects in the TEC of suspended graphene membranes. Controlled introduction of low densities of mono-vacancies reduces the graphene TEC, up to one order of magnitude for a defect density of $5\times10^{12}$~cm$^{-2}$ . Our molecular dynamics simulations reproduce the observed trend and show that TEC reduction is due to the suppression of out-of-plane fluctuations caused by the strain fields created by mono-vacancies in their surrounding areas. These results highlight the key role of defects in the properties of "real-life" graphene, and pave the way for future proposals of electronic and mechanical defect engineering.
