[DFTB-Plus-User] graphene melting

[sandeep singh]

Hi DFTB+ users,

I am trying to calculate melting behaviour of graphene. I used time
step=0.1fs and run the MD code using Anderson thermostat  upto temperature
6000K. I didnt see any defect formation (5-7 defect or Stones-Walls defect)
during melting. Is DFTB+ parameters for  carbon  bond breaking are included
in file? or anybody can suggest good thermostat or any mechanism to get
correct results.
 Thanks in advance
