With its excellent mechanical and thermal properties, bilayer graphane is a promising material for realizing future nanoelectromechanical systems. In this study, we focus on the auxetic behavior of bilayer graphane under external loading along various directions through atomistic simulations. We numerically and theoretically reveal the mechanism of the auxeticity in terms of intrinsic interactions between carbon atoms by constructing bilayer graphane. Given that the origin of the auxeticity is intrinsic rather than extrinsic, the work provides a novel technique to control the dimensions of nanoscale bilayer graphane by simply changing the external conditions without the requirement of complex structural design of the material.

NanoTube Construct is a web tool for the digital construction of nanotubes based on real and hypothetical single-layer materials including carbon-based materials such as graphene, graphane, graphyne polymorphs, graphidiyene and non-carbon materials such as silicene, germanene, boron nitride, hexagonal bilayer silica, haeckelite silica, molybdene disulfide and tungsten disulfide. Contrary to other available tools, NanoTube Construct has the following features: a) it is not limited to zero thickness materials with specific symmetry, b) it applies energy minimisation to the geometrically constructed Nanotubes to generate realistic ones, c) it derives atomistic descriptors (e.g.

Graphene is well-known for its unique combination of electrical and mechanical properties. However, its vanishing band gap limits the use of graphene in microelectronics. Covalent functionalization of graphene has been a common approach to address this critical issue and introduce a band gap.

We propose a harmonic linear response (HLR) method to calculate the phonon dispersion relations of two-dimensional layers from equilibrium simulations at finite temperatures. This HLR approach is based on the linear response of the system, as derived from the analysis of its centroid density in equilibrium path integral simulations. In the classical limit, this approach is closely related to those methods that study vibrational properties by the diagonalization of the covariance matrix of atomic fluctuations.

Using density functional theory computations with van der Waals (vdW) corrections, we reveal that C-HF-C hydrogen bonding exists in graphane/fluorographene and fluorographane/fluorographane bilayers. The significant C-HF-C hydrogen bonding is strong enough to combine two separate monolayers to form the bilayer. Interestingly, both the graphane/fluorographene and fluorographane/fluorographane bilayers are metallic in the most stable stacking configuration.
