17 Aug 2019 | | Abstract: | Using a first-principles total energy methodology, we investigated the
properties of graphene-like carbon mono and bilayers, functionalized with
nitrogen and boron atoms. The resulting stable structures were explored in
terms of their potential use as nanoscale two-dimensional building blocks for
self-assembly of macroscopic structures. We initially considered graphene
monolayers functionalized with nitrogen and boron, but none of them was
dynamically stable, in terms of the respective layer phonon spectra. Then, we
considered the functionalized graphene-like bilayers (labeled as NCCN, NCNC,
BCCB, and NCCB), analyzing their stability, electronic and mechanical
properties, and chemical reactivity. We found that while the NCCN, NCNC, and
NCCB bilayers were stable, the BCCB one was not. Additionally, the NCCN and
NCCB bilayers were explored as potential two-dimensional building blocks for
nanostructure self-assembly, which could form stable bulk structures.
Particularly, the NCCB bilayer seemed the best choice as a building block,
since the resulting 3D crystals, formed by stacking NCCB bilayers, were
dynamically stable. | | Source: | arXiv, 1908.6218 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
