1303.0033 (Matias Abel Oscar Quiroga)

Role of Van der Waals forces in graphene adsorption over Pd, Pt and Ni    [PDF]

Matias Abel Oscar Quiroga
We report ab initiocomputations with the Vienna ab Initio Simulation Package (VASP) aimed at elucidating the adsorption mechanism of graphene-like structures on (111) Pd, Pt, and Ni surfaces. To study the adsorption properties, we simulate an already-formed graphene layer. We present a comparative discussion of the graphene interactions with the three metals, focusing on the very particular adsorption of graphene over Pd.
