Nanosheet with a hole

QuantumATK: Nanosheet Platforms: This quick tutorial shows you how to make a small defect in graphene, viz. a hole, and passivate it with hydrogen atoms to saturate all the bonds.

Here are the instructions:

• Step 1: Click Add ‣ From Plugin ‣ Nanosheet.

• Step 2: Set n=1, m=1 and click Build. This inserts a simple orthorhombic unit cell of graphene.

• Step 3: Use Bulk Tools ‣ Repeat to make a larger structure. A repetition of 1x6x6 is suitable.

• Step 4: Press Ctrl+R in the plot window, to center the view.

• Step 5: Switch to the circle select tool .

• Step 6: Select a hexagon, press Delete on the keyboard.

• Step 7: Click the passivate button on the toolbar.
