Scientific paper

The buckling of graphene nano-ribbons containing a grain boundary is studied using atomistic simulations where free and supported boundary conditions are invoked. We found that when graphene contains a small angle grain boundary the buckling strains are larger when the ribbons with free (supported) boundary condition are subjected to compressive tension parallel (perpendicular) to the grain boundary. The shape of the deformations of the buckled graphene nanoribbons depends on the boundary conditions and the presence of the grain boundary and the direction of applied in-plane compressive tension. Large angle grain boundary results in smaller buckling strains as compared to perfect graphene or to a small angle grain boundary.
