We investigated the reaction paths of Stone-Wales rearrangement (SWR), i.e., π/2 rotation of two carbon atoms with respect to the midpoint of the bond, in graphene and carbon nanotube quantum chemically. Our particular attention is focused on the roles of electronic excitations and conical intersections (CIs) in the r…

The doping-charge effects on the electronic structure and stability of hydrogenated graphene have been investigated using density functional theory. Charge doping profoundly decreases the exchange splittings of the magnetic states, but has a negligible effect on the nonmagnetic states in hydrogenated graphene. The tun…

Alloy discovery and development is slowed by trial and error methods used to identify beneficial alloying elements. This fact has led to suggestions that integrating quantum theory and modeling with traditional experimental approaches might accelerate the pace of alloy discovery. We report here on one such effort, usi…
