Abstract. The elastic and acoustic properties of 2D carbon supracrystals are simulated within the scope of modified density functional theory. The central and non-central force constants of carbon atoms and the corresponding elastic moduli, have been calculated in order to determine the velocities of elastic wave propagation in 2D supracrystalline nanoallotropes. It is shown that in sp 2 nanoallotropes and graphene these velocities are approximately of the same value, and in sp 3 nanoallotropes they are much less than in graphene.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
