The complementary graphene growth and etching revealed by large-scale kinetic Monte Carlo simulation

Abstract To fully understand the kinetics of graphene growth, large-scale atomic simulations of graphene islands evolution up to macro sizes (i.e., graphene islands of a few micrometers or with billions of carbon atoms) during growth and etching is essential, but remains a great challenge. In this p...
