| Abstract | We performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the self-assembly of a free-standing graphene nano-ribbon (GNR). It was found that the kinetic pathway of a GNR is dictated by both the complex energy landscape, which drives the GNR towards a low energy regular conformation, and the formation of locking frustrations, which traps the GNR at a metastable state with an irregular conformation. For an initially planar GNR, we observed a regularly folded conformation over a finite range of GNR lengths. Using an energy minimization approach, we were able to predict the number of folds in this regularly folded conformation. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |
