Title in Portuguese
Defeitos em nanofitas de Grafeno zigzag
Keywords in Portuguese
DFT
Grafeno
Nanofitas
Abstract in Portuguese
Grafeno e nanofitas de grafeno vêm, cada vez mais, atraindo o interesse da comunidade científica devido as suas notáveis propriedades. Neste trabalho realizou-se um estudo sistemático da estabilidade de defeitos do tipo divacância, vacância e Stone-Wales em grafeno e nanofitas de grafeno com bordas zigzag. Para tal, fizeram-se cálculos de primeiros princípios, baseados em teoria do funcional da densidade (DFT) na aproximação GGA com o uso de pseudopotenciais ultrasoft e uma base de ondas planas. Também foram feitas simulações de imagens de STM para os defeitos nas nanofitas. Além disso, foram encontrados dois novos defeitos, não publicados em nenhum outro lugar (até onde vai o conhecimento do autor), com energia de formação muito baixa.

Abstract in English
Graphene and graphene nanoribbons have been attracting a lot of interest from the scientific community because of their novel properties. In this work, a systematic research has been done on the stability and energetics of divacancy, vacancy and Stone-Wales defects in graphene and zigzag graphene nanoribbons. With this goal in mind, ab initio density functional calculations within the GGA approximation, using ultrasoft pseudopotentials and a plane wave basis were done. Also, STM images were simulated for some selected defects. Besides, two new defects, not published elsewhere (to the best knowledge of the author), with very low formation energy are reported.
