Abstract:Graphene/carbon-nanotube (CNT) hybrid material can be useful in energy storage and nanoelectronic technologies. Here we address the CNT-oscillator encapsulated in a graphenenanoribbon (GNR) trench as a novel design, and investigate its properties via classical molecular dynamics simulations. Since the energy barrier was very low while the CNT was encapsulated in the GNR trench, the CNT absorbed on the GNR surface could easily be encapsulated in the GNR trench.MD simulations showed that the CNT oscillator encap… Show more
