Coupled quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical modeling of the fracture of defective carbon nanotubes and graphene sheets
Abstract
Coupled quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) calculations were used to study the effects of large defects and cracks on the mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes and graphene sheets. The semi-empirical method PM3 was used to treat the QM subdomains and a Tersoff-Brenner potential was used for the molecular mechanics; some of the QM calculations were also done using density functional theory (DFT). Scaling of the Tersoff-Brenner...
