Thermodynamic properties of graphene bilayers

[EN] Thermodynamic properties of graphene bilayers are studied by path-integral molecular dynamics (PIMD) simulations, considering quantization of vibrational modes and anharmonic effects. Bilayer graphene has been studied at temperatures between 12 and 1500 K for zero external stress, using the LCB...
