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

Figure 6

The trajectory of the two carbon atoms on the right free edge (outermost array) indicated by white circles in Figure 1(b). (a) The whole trajectory A→I, and (b) the part of the trajectory A→E, including the discrete jumps, B→C and D→E, are indicated. White circles mean carbon atoms of the graphite surface. The indices A–I correspond to those in Figure 2.
