Dear experts,
Please find attached structures of doped graphene during and after geometry optimization. I have optimized graphene supercell with substitutional doping in the hexagonal ring of the graphene with different supercell sizes, and different input parameters in the INCAR of the vasp, but I have found that in each case the hexagonal arrangement of atoms is distorted to a large degree. However, similar studies have been published with hexagonal structure of doped graphene. Could anyone guide me how to solve the problem of geometry distortion to a large extend after geometry optimization/relaxation of the doped graphene?
Thank you.
I have used the following parameters in the INCAR, but got similar structure distortion.
