Simulating ion bombardment on graphene sheets
Simulating ion bombardment on graphene
sheets
The properties of graphene sheets can be tuned by intentionally introducing
defects to the material. A promising method to obtain defects in a controlled
way is by bombarding the graphene sheet with high-energy ions. Molecular
dynamics simulations can be used to elucidate the mechanisms involved in
such processes and to improve our understanding of how external parameters,
such as the kinetic energy of the incoming ion, affect the formation of defects.
In this tutorial, you simulate ion bombardment of graphene, following the
protocol proposed in Ref. [BS12].
In particular, you will:
Learn the basic steps required to set up the calculation using Virtual
NanoLab (VNL).
Learn how to manually introduce modifications to the Python script
generated by VNL.
Run the calculation using the Atomistix ToolKit (ATK).
Setting up the Graphene Sheet:
Open the Builder and do the following:
Use the Nanosheet plugin via Add ? From plugin ? Nanosheet to create a
graphene unit cell.
Use the Bulk Tools ? Swap Axes tool to rotate the structure and the cell
vectors by clicking C-A and then Z-X. Now the surface is oriented along
the Z-axis.
Use Bulk Tools ? Repeat to create a suitable supercell by giving a desired
number of repetitions in the A- and B-directions, e.g. 10x4.
Use the Bulk Tools ? Lattice parameters widget to increase the z-component

of the C-vector to 50.0 ?. Make sure to keep the cartesian coordinates when
changing the lattice.
Adding a Bombardment Atom
Bombardment atoms can in principle be added at any location above the
surface. In the following, you can shoose to add a bombardment atom either
above a graphene carbon atom (to
