Simulated Nanoscale Peeling Process of Monolayer Graphene Sheet: Effect of Edge Structure and Lifting Position
Figure 9
(a) The vertical force, , acting on the lifting edge, plotted as a function of the lifting edge height for the graphene with armchair-type free edge. The indices A–J correspond to those of Figure 8. (b) The red-colored averaged force per one atom acting on the outermost array, and the blue-colored one acting on the second array, as a function of the lifting edge height (Å). The indices E, F, H, and I correspond to those of Figures 8 and 9(a).
