ABSTRACTWe studied the self-assembly mechanisms of Graphene Nanoribbon (GNR) with unsaturated edges and demonstrated the ability of GNR to self-assemble into novel stable structures. We proposed three mechanisms which dictate the self-assembly evolution of GNR with unsaturated edges. Using the Adaptive Intermolecular Reactive Empirical Bond-Order (AIREBO) potential, we performed molecular dynamics simulations on initially-planar GNRs with unsaturated edges. The simulation results showed that the self-assembly mechanisms and final conformations of the GNRs correlate well with the proposed GNR self-assembly mechanisms. Furthermore, the simulations also showed the ability of a narrow GNR to self-assemble into various nanostructures, such as tapered graphene nano-rings and graphene nanoscrolls with an embedded nanotube.

AbstractDeformation properties of body-centered-cubic transition metals are controlled by the core structure of screw dislocations and their studies involve extensive computer simulations. In this paper we present the recently constructed bond-order potentials (BOP) that are based on the realspace parametrized tight-binding method. In order to examine the applicability of the potentials we have evaluated the energy differences of alternative structures, investigated several transformation paths leading to large distortions and calculated phonon dispersions. Using these potentials we have calculated γ-surfaces that relate to the dislocation core structures and discuss then the importance of directional bonding in studies of dislocations in transition metals.
