摘要
We investigated the mechanical properties of graphene and graphite containing vacancies under tensile loading using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In the MD simulations, we used two types of potential functions: the second-generation reactive empirical bond-order (REBO) potential for covalent C-C bond, and the Lennard-Jones potential for the interlayer interaction of graphite. The influence of the size and the distributional form of vacancies on the mechanical properties of graphene and graphite were studied. It was found that the tensile strength of graphene having randomly distributed vacancies with a vacancy density of 4%, decreased by 59%.
