A Molecular Mechanics Study of Morphologic Interaction between Graphene and Si Nanowires on a SiO2
Substrate
Figure 3
(a) Molecular mechanics simulation result of the morphology of a wide graphene nanoribbon intercalated by a Si nanowire on a SiO2 substrate. Here nm and nm. (b) Normalized width of the corrugated portion of the graphene as a function of for various widths of the graphene nanoribbon , , , and , respectively. The solid line plots the average of the four data sets. The dash line shows the plateau value of when is sufficiently large.
