Abstract
The thermodynamic properties of two-dimensional graphene nanosystems are investigated using the static fluctuation approximation (SFA). These properties are analyzed using both extensive and nonextensive statistical mechanics. It is found that these properties are less sensitive to temperature when using nonextensive — in contrast to extensive — statistical mechanics. It is also noted that the mean internal energy and the specific heat behave as a power law, Tα, at T < 8 eV; whereas they go to the classical limit for the two-dimensional ideal gas at T > 8 eV. The results are presented in a set of figures and one table. The roles played by the number of particles and the entropy parameter q are underlined. Whenever possible, comparisons are made to previous studies. It is concluded that Boltzmann–Gibbs statistics are not valid for some cases, and that SFA results are in good agreement with those obtained within other formalisms.
