Tunable mechanical properties of diamond superlattices generated by interlayer bonding in twisted bilayer graphene

Alyne S. Machado, Dimitrios Maroudas, and Andre R. Muniz

Using molecular-dynamics simulations of tensile deformation and shear loading tests, we determine the mechanical properties of superlattices of diamond-like nanocrystals embedded in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) generated by covalent interlayer bonding through patterned hydrogenation. We find tha ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 103, 013113 (2013)] published Wed Jul 03, 2013.
