Thermal Stability of Tilt Grain Boundaries in Graphene

Article Preview

Abstract:

We present an assessment of the stability and dynamics of grain boundaries in graphene for different misorientation angles at finite temperature and up to extremely high temperatures, in particular, for a misorientation angle of 6.6, 14.1, 19.66, 27.8, 38.21 and 46.83. We report a high stability against annihilation up to extreme temperatures.
