Defects in bilayer silica and graphene: common trends in diverse hexagonal two-dimensional systems

Abstract: By combining first-principles and classical force field calculations with aberration-corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscopy experiments, we study the morphology and energetics of point and extended defects in hexagonal bilayer silica and make comparison to graphene, another two-dimensional (2D) system with hexagonal symmetry. We show that the motifs of isolated point defects in these 2D structures with otherwise very different properties are similar, and include Stone-Wales-type defects for… Show more

“…Thus, for the second layer, two more transition states must be overcome with activation energies of 5.36 and 0.69 eV for the first and second steps, respectively, and the formation of the intermediate structure I3. It is important to mention that the values extracted from our calculations for the energy of formation of a Stone–Wales‐type of defect (2.98 eV) is in good agreement with that reported by Björkman et al . (2.8 eV) for the same type of structural element formed through a different mechanism.…”

“…Thus,f or the second layer, two more transition states must be overcome with activation energies of 5.36 and 0.69 eV for the first and second steps,r espectively,a nd the formation of the intermediate structure I3. It is important to mention that the values extracted from our calculations for the energy of formation of aS tone-Wales-type of defect (2.98 eV) is in good agreement with that reported by Bjçrkman et al [20] (2.8 eV) for the same type of structural element formed through ad ifferent mechanism. Furthermore,o ur mechanism is consistent with the description of 5-7-5-7 to 6-6-6-6 transformation triggered by electron bombardment, in which several metastable intermediate states were observed in the inverse process.…”
