A Molecular Mechanics Study of Morphologic Interaction between Graphene and Si Nanowires on a SiO2
Substrate
Figure 2
(a) On a nanowire of diameter of 4 nm, a narrow graphene nanoribbon of width of 6 nm remains nearly flat, with slight ripples along two long edges. (b) On a nanowire of diameter of 10 nm, a narrow graphene nanoribbon of width of 12 nm can fully conform to the nanowire surface.
