Effect of topological defects on graphene geometry and stability

Ibolya ZsoldosFaculty of Technology Sciences, Szechenyi Istvan University, Gyor, HungaryAbstract: The effect of two basic topological defects, mitosis and the Stone–Wales defect, is studied in the graphene structure. The topological rules of the curvatures due to the occurrence of the...
