We study the bombardment of a suspended monolayer graphene sheet via different energetic atoms via classical molecular dynamics based on the reactive force field (ReaxFF). We find that the probability, quality, and controllability of defects are mainly determined by the impact site, the properties of the incident atom…

The pulsed plasma polymerization of allyl alcohol was employed under the aspect of maximal retention of OH groups and the formation of a regular polymer structure. It should be noted that earlier investigations on plasma polymers deposited from allyl alcohol did not show extensive postplasma addition of oxygen and wat…

A theoretical model is suggested which describes the formation of cracks at grain boundaries (GBs) containing partial (non-topological) disclinations and their dipoles in graphene. Such partial disclinations and their dipoles at GBs are associated with experimentally observed structural irregularities of real GBs in g…

A novel approach of patterning graphene on conductive surfaces based on local electrochemical reduction of graphene oxide is reported. Graphene is "written" from typical graphene oxide dispersion by applying negative potential on conductive surfaces vs. a micrometer-sized counter electrode "pen" with scanning electroc…

A one-step colloidal process has been adopted to prepare silver (Ag) and silver sulfide (Ag₂S) nanocrystals, thus avoiding presynthesis of an organometallic precursor and the injection of a toxic phosphine agent. During the reaction, a layered intermediate compound is first formed, which then acts as a precursor, deco…

Metamaterials (MTMs) have advantages to control electromagnetic (EM) waves with high flexibility. However, the application of MTMs in antennas has mainly focused on controlling the phases of EM waves (e.g., to transform spherical waves into planar waves in flat lens and Luneburg lens). In this work, we experimentally…

Solids are distinguished from fluids by their ability to resist shear. In traditional solids, the resistance to shear is associated with the emergence of broken translational symmetry as exhibited by a nonuniform density pattern. In this work, we focus on the emergence of shear rigidity in a class of solids where this…

During the graphitization of polar SiC(0001) surfaces through thermal decomposition, a strongly bound carbon-rich layer forms at the graphene/SiC interface. This layer is responsible for the system's high electron-doping and contributes to the degradation of the electrical properties of the overlying graphene. In this…
