Nickel assisted healing of defective graphene

Résumé

The healing of graphene grown from a metallic substrate is investigated using tight-binding Monte Carlo simulations. At temperatures (ranging from 1000 to 2500 K), an isolated graphene sheet can anneal a large number of defects suggesting that their healing are thermally activated. We show that in presence of a nickel substrate we obtain a perfect graphene layer. The nickel-carbon chemical bonds keep breaking and reforming around defected carbon zones, providing a direct interaction, necessary for the healing. Thus, the action of Ni atoms is found to play a key role in the reconstruction of the graphene sheet by annealing defects.
