Nonadiabatic Effects on Defect Diffusion in Silicon-Doped Nanographenes

David B. Lingerfelt et al.

Summary: In this study, excited-state electronic structure calculations were used to investigate the diffusion pathway of silicon in graphene. It was found that the excited-state silicon diffusion pathway has a lower diffusion barrier than the ground-state pathway. Beam-induced transition rates indicate that the excited-state pathway can be accessed through irradiation of the defect site. Even in the limit of fully elastic scattering, upward nonadiabatic transitions are possible, increasing the diffusion barrier.
