Graphene is one of the most important materials in science today due to its unique and remarkable electronic, thermal and mechanical properties. However in its pristine state, graphene is a gapless semiconductor, what limits its use in transistor electronics. In part due to the revolution created by graphene in materials science, there is a renewed interest in other possible graphene-like two-dimensional structures. Examples of these structures are graphynes and graphdiynes, which are two-dimensional structures, composed of carbon atoms in sp2 and sp-hybridized states. Graphdiynes (benzenoid rings connecting two acetylenic groups) were recently synthesized and some of them are intrinsically nonzero gap systems. These systems can be easily hydrogenated and the relative level of hydrogenation can be used to tune the band gap values. We have investigated, using fully reactive molecular dynamics (ReaxFF), the structural and dynamics aspects of the hydrogenation mechanisms of graphdiyne membranes. Our results showed that the hydrogen bindings have different atom incorporation rates and that the hydrogenation patterns change in time in a very complex way. The formation of correlated domains reported to hydrogenated graphene is no longer observed in graphdiyne cases.

Graphdiynes (GDYs) as two-dimensional carbon structures based on sp2 hybridized aromatic rings connected by sp-hybridized acetylenic linear links are gathering an increasing popularity, both for their peculiar properties and for the promising applica
tions. In these materials, structural features affect the degree of pi-electron conjugation resulting in different electronic, optical and vibrational properties. In particular, how topology, connectivity between sp and sp2 domains and system size are related with the final properties is fundamental to understand structure-property relationships and to tailor the properties by proper structure design. By using a computational approach based on density functional theory calculations, we here investigate structure-property relations in a class of 1D and 2D GDY molecular fragments as building block models of extended structures. By analysing how the structure can modulate the pi-electron conjugation in these systems, HOMO-LUMO gap is found to depend on the peculiar topology and connections between linear sp domains and aromatic units. A topological indicator is computed, showing a trend with the gap and with the frequency of the main vibrational mode occurring in Raman spectra. Our findings can contribute to guide the molecular design of new GDY-based sp-sp2 carbon materials, aiming at tuning their properties by precise control of the structure.
We examine the adsorption of a single Ni atom on a monolayer of MgO on a Ag substrate using DFT and DFT+U computational approaches. We find that the electronic and magnetic properties vary considerably across the three binding sites of the surface. T
wo of the binding sites are competitive in energy, and the preferred site depends on the strength of the on-site Coulomb interaction U. These results can be understood in terms of the competition between bonding and magnetism for surface adsorbed transition metal atoms. Comparisons are made with a recent experimental and theoretical study of Co on MgO/Ag, and implications for scanning tunneling microscopy experiments on the Ni system are discussed.
Hydrogenated diamond has been regarded as a promising material in electronic device applications, especially in field-effect transistors (FETs). However, the quality of diamond hydrogenation has not yet been established, nor has the specific orientat
ion that would provide the optimum hydrogen coverage. In addition, most theoretical work in the literature use models with 100% hydrogenated diamond surfaces to study electronic properties, which is far from the experimentally observed hydrogen coverage. In this work, we have carried out a detailed study using fully atomistic reactive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on low indices diamond surfaces i.e. (001), (013), (110), (113) and (111) to evaluate the quality and hydrogenation thresholds on different diamond surfaces and their possible effects on electronic properties. Our simulation results indicate that the 100% surface hydrogenation in these surfaces is hard to achieve because of the steric repulsion between the terminated hydrogen atoms. Among all the considered surfaces, the (001), (110), and (113) surfaces incorporate a larger number of hydrogen atoms and passivate the surface dangling bonds. Our results on hydrogen stability also suggest that these surfaces with optimum hydrogen coverage are robust under extreme conditions and could provide homogeneous p-type surface conductivity in the diamond surfaces, a key requirement for high-field, high-frequency device applications.
We report the chemical reaction of single-layer graphene with hydrogen atoms, generated in situ by electron-induced dissociation of hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ). Hydrogenation, forming sp3 C-H functionality on the basal plane of graphene, proceeds a
t a higher rate for single than for double layers, demonstrating the enhanced chemical reactivity of single sheet graphene. The net H atom sticking probability on single layers at 300 K is at least 0.03, which exceeds that of double layers by at least a factor of 15. Chemisorbed hydrogen atoms, which give rise to a prominent Raman D band, can be detached by thermal annealing at 100~200 degrees C. The resulting dehydrogenated graphene is activated when photothermally heated it reversibly binds ambient oxygen, leading to hole doping of the graphene. This functionalization of graphene can be exploited to manipulate electronic and charge transport properties of graphene devices.
Recently, an experimental study developed an efficient way to obtain sulfur-doped gamma-graphdiyne. This study has shown that this new material could have promising applications in lithium-ion batteries, but the complete understanding of how the sulf
ur atoms are incorporated into the graphdiyne network is still missing. In this work, we have investigated the sulfur doping process through molecular dynamics and density functional theory simulations. Our results suggest that the doped induced distortions of the gamma-graphdiyne pores prevent the incorporation of more than two sulfur atoms. The most common configuration is the incorporation of just one sulfur atom per the graphdiyne pore.
