Structural phase field crystal approach for modeling graphene and other two-dimensional structures
This paper introduces a new structural phase field crystal (PFC) type model that expands the PFC methodology to a wider class of structurally complex crystal structures than previously possible. Specifically, our approach allows for stabilization of graphene, as well as its coexistence with a disordered phase. It also preserves the …
