Effect of Mass on the Dynamic Characteristics of Single- and Double-Layered Graphene-Based Nano Resonators

Abstract

Graphene has been widely and extensively used in mass sensing applications. The present study focused on exploring the use of single-layer graphene (SLG) and double-layer graphene (DLG) as sensing devices. The dynamic analysis of SLG and DLG with different boundary conditions (BDs) and length was executed using the atomistic finite element method (AFEM). SLG and DLG sheets were modelled and considered as a space–frame structure similar to a 3D beam. Spring elements (Combin14) were used to identify the interlayer interactions between two graphene layers in the DLG sheet due to the van der Waals forces. Simulations were carried out to visualize the behavior of the SLG and DLG subjected to different BDs and when used as mass sensing devices. The variation in frequency was noted by changing the length and applied mass of the SLGs and DLGs. The quantity of the frequency was found to be highest in the armchair SLG (6, 6) for a 50 nm sheet length and lowest in the chiral SLG (16, 4) for a 20 nm sheet length in the bridged condition. When the mass was 0.1 Zg, the frequency for the zigzag SLG (20, 0) was higher in both cases. The results show that the length of the sheet and the various mass values have a significant impact on the dynamic properties. The present research will contribute to the ultra-high frequency nano-resonance applications.

Bio-Nano Sensor utilizing Single-Layer Graphene for the Detection of Iridovirus

“…Graphene is known for its exceptional strength, especially in terms of its tensile strength. The theoretical tensile strength of graphene is extremely high, estimated to be around 130 GPa [28]. Experimental studies have reported tensile strengths for graphene ranging from 20 to 130 GPa [29], the chirality of graphene is typically described using two integers, (n, m), which represent the vector components of a translation that describes how a graphene sheet is rolled into a tube to form a carbon nanotube [30].…”

Fuzzy Logic-Based Energy Management in Smart Grids for Renewable Integration

“…The capacity of fuzzy logic to manage uncertainty makes it a viable tool for improving energy management techniques in the presence of changeable renewable supplies. [26][27][28][29][30] Performance evaluation and comparative studies have been conducted in the literature to assess the effectiveness of energy management systems based on fuzzy logic. These assessments often include indicators such as grid stability, dependability, and overall efficiency.…”
