In this thesis graphene and related nanostructures were studied, using density functional ab initio modelling techniques. The influence of different edge terminations has been investigated for typical pristine graphene edges (armchair, zigzag and Klein) and several reconstructed edge configurations. For unterminated graphene edges a new stable folded back edge has been identified, creating a nanotube along the graphene edge. A systematic study of hydrogenated edges was performed, and new favourable reconstructed Klein edge configurations were found. Furthermore hydrogenated edges are expected to play an important role for graphene growth processes, and thus possible adapted growth models via carbon dimer addition are proposed. Next more com...
