This document summarizes a theoretical study on the rupture of graphene membranes in strong electric fields using molecular dynamics simulations. The study finds that graphene membranes are not ruptured by electric fields or defects alone, but that bombardment by ions in solution can cause the membranes to rupture. Sequential bombardment with ion pairs more realistically modeled the effects of ions in solution compared to concerted bombardment. Increasing the number of ions or adding potassium ions may help completely tear the membrane.
