Build Graphene with Material Studio

Build Graphene with Material Studio
 
1) File -> Import -> Structures -> ceramics -> graphite.msi;
2) Build -> Symmetry -> Make P1;
3) Remove one of the two layers;
4) Build -> Symmetry -> Find Symmetry -> Impose Symmetry;
5) Build -> Symmetry -> Supercell 2*2*2;
6) Build -> Crystals -> Rebuild Crystal -> Lattice Parameters -> a=4.26, b=2.46, c=25, alpha=beta=gamma=90 -> Rebuild;
7) Build -> Symmetry -> Supercell 5*5*1.

  1. Hi Kater, nice example! I also wanted to ask if you know how to solve a problem i hav with msi2lmp.exe. During conversion it complains about its inability to find my force fields and atoms.

    Cheers

  2. msi2lmp prefer cvff force field, however it still can not find correct force field parameters, if the materials (atoms) are not common one (like C, H, O).

    Normally, i only use this tool to get atom positions (like X, Y, Z). It's enough for me, since i get force fields and parameters from other way.

  3. Thanks Kater,
    How can Ab stacking multilayer can be built?

    1. After the Step 2, u can get the AB stacking 2 layers automatically.

    1. i always do it manually. Add some oxygen atoms on the graphene surface, and build bond between O-C.

  5. Hi!
    I'd like to know, do u guys have experiences using adsorption locator in Materials Studio 8? I cannot run my adsorption because there is no "add atoms" button in Adsorption Locator Module window. any suggestion? thanks.

  8. Hi!
    Can you teach me on how to draw 3x3x1 supercell of graphene using MS castep? i want a graphene sheet with 18 C atom but failed to draw it. does i need to change the space group? thanks

  9. i did on your commend to make a graphene... and i successed but the DOS of this graphene was not similar to the real graphene

    1. Power Diffraction is not same as for graphene
