We report here the buckling phenomenon of a monolayer graphene with four free edges subjected to uniaxial tension by molecular dynamics simulations. We find that the buckling occurs when tension force is applied and is sufficiently large for both armchair and zigzag single layer graphene sheets. The maximum amplitude is increased and the maximum wavelength is decreased with increase in temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
