Simulated Nanoscale Peeling Process of Monolayer Graphene Sheet: Effect of Edge Structure and Lifting Position

Figure 17

(a) The model of the red-colored monolayer graphene sheet physically adsorbed onto the blue-colored rigid graphite surface within the 𝑥 𝑦 plane. The green-colored six-membered ring at the center position is moved upward along the 𝑧 (or [ 0 0 0 1 ]) direction, by 𝑧 = 0 . 1  Å. Initial AB stacking registry of the red-colored graphene sheet with the blue-colored graphite surface is assumed. (b) The vertical force, 𝐹 𝑧 , acting on the center six-membered ring, plotted as a function of the lifting displacement 𝑧 .
