Long-range van der Waals forces between graphene and copperene: first principles calculations
Description
Van der Waals (vdW) interactions play a crucial role in the formation of various systems. Two-dimensional (2D) metals have attracted considerable attention due to their unique properties, particularly in applications where vdW interactions play a significant role. In particular, a graphene template facilitates the self-assembly of 2D metal nanosheets. A study of vdW interactions between copperene and graphene has been carried out. The behavior of the binding energy of copperene/graphene is studied within the framework of DFT-D3.
