Title: Simulation of Individual Atoms in Action

The atomic dynamics of the hole in graphene was simulated via a kinetic monte carlo method. Probabilities for atomic migration, insertion and ejection were determined by ab-initio calculation. The simmore »ulation starts with a predefined hole in a graphene sheet. As it proceeds, the hole grows and the atoms along the edge rearrange themselves. The zigzag configuration is found to dominate the armchair one. http://newscenter.lbl.gov/press-releases/2009/03/26/atoms-in-action/« less
