Theoretical Studies of Metallic Clusters on Nanographene for Future Materials

Tara Lyons

Nanotechnology allows us to build powerful and smaller electronics, helps develop energy sources, solar panels, and catalysts. Graphene is composed of one layer of honeycomb-like Carbon atoms. It has electronic properties and can transport charges without resistance. We focused on theoretical/computational analysis of metal clusters on nanographene. Calculations were performed to study the physical/chemical properties of metal on nanographene using the supercomputer in University Park. This analysis focuses on energy, optical/magnetic properties, and chemical properties.
