Graphene Hole Simulation (VIDEO) DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory This video is under embargo. Please login to access this video.

Probabilities for atomic migration, insertion and ejection were determined by ab-initio calculation. The simulation starts with a predefined hole in a graphene sheet. As it proceeds, the hole grows and the atoms along the edge rearrange themselves. The zigzag configuration is found to dominate the armchair one.
