Section:Abstract
We demonstrate by molecular dynamics simulations that water nanodroplets can activate and guide the folding of planar graphene nanostructures. Once the nanodroplets are deposited at selected spots on the planar nanostructure, they can act as catalytic elements that initiate conformational changes and help to overcome deformation barriers associated with them. Nanodroplets can induce rapid bending, folding, sliding, rolling, and zipping of the planar nanostructures, which can lead to the assembly of nanoscale sandwiches, capsules, knots, and rings.

Liangyong Chu, Qingzhong Xue, Teng Zhang, and Cuicui LingThe Journal of Physical Chemistry C2011 115 (31), 15217-15224It is demonstrated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations that P-doped silicon nanowires (Si NWs) can activate graphenes self-scrolling onto Si NWs and thus produce new kinds of graphene nanoscroll (NS)/Si core/shell heterojunctions. The simulations ...
