Abstract
We investigated graphene structures grafted with fullerenes. The size of the graphene sheets ranges from 6400 to 640 , 000 atoms. The fullerenes (C 60 and C 240 ) are placed on top of the graphene sheets, using different impact velocities we could distinguish three types of impact. Furthermore, we investigated the changes of the vibrational properties. The modified graphene planes show additional features in the vibronic density of states.
