Title: About the strain on graphene
Post by: donmbringer on August 18, 2012, 11:41

Hi,

Is it possible to apply strain to graphene or some other 2D materials in VNL? How to do that？

The easiest way is to change the unit cell vectors by a determined amount, while keeping the fractional coordinates fixed. You can do this under "Bulk Tools>Lattice Parameters".
