24. We examined two other sizes of a hole on a graphene sheet consisting of 680 carbon atoms in the periodic boundary condition. The hole was created by removing 6 or 54 carbon atoms. The effect of unit cell shrinkage (10 or 20%) along the horizontal axis was also examined. After more than 20 psec of simulation time, the holes never closed regardless of the hole size and shrink rate.
