Exploring mechanical properties of pristine graphene and with nanoparticles using stochastic physics
Abstract
In this project through a powerful combination of detailed theoretical predictions and atomic-scale characterization, we propose to connect scanning tunneling microscopy data (provided by experimentalists of the University of Arkansas, USA) to stochastic physics and membrane theory, and discover basic and advanced mechanisms for controlling the strain distribution in freestanding graphene.Researcher(s)

Theoretical study of lattice thermal properties of fluorinated graphene.
Abstract
Using large scale atomistic simulations with the reactive force field approach (ReaxFF) we will investigate the lattice thermal properties of fluorinated graphene (FG). We will study the effects of defects on the lattice thermal properties of FG, e.g. lattice constants, rippling behavior, etc. The aim is to explain the recent experimental measurements of the lattice thermal properties of both fully and partially covered sheet of graphene by F atoms.Researcher(s)

Tuning of the mechanical and electronic properties of graphene by strain, chemical doping and defects (MESCD).
Abstract
In this project we intend to focus on basic and advanced mechanisms that are potentially useful for controlling i) the strain distribution, ii) the band gap, iii) the observation and visualization of electronic polarization in single/multilayer graphene at the atomic scale.Researcher(s)
