The formation of atomic nanoclusters on suspended graphene sheets have been investigated
by employing a Molecular dynamics simulation at finite temperature. Our systematic
study is based on temperature dependent Molecular dynamics simulations of some transition and alkali atoms on suspended graphene sheets. We find that the transition atoms aggregate and make various size nanoclusters distributed randomly on graphene surface. We also report that most alkali atoms make one atomic layer on graphene sheets.
Interestingly, the potassium atoms almost deposit regularly on the surface at low temperature.
We predict from this behavior that the electrical conductivity of a suspended graphene doped by potassium atoms
would be much higher than the case doped by the other atoms at low temperature.
