The effects of temperature and vacancies on dynamics of crack in graphene sheet

Crack propagation in a defected graphene sheet is investigated at finite temperature using molecular dynamics simulation. The effects of several initial cracks, temperature and different percentage of vacancies are considered. It is found that i) the critical load, which is a criteria for crack prop...
