The effect of a weak nonbonded layers interaction on the bending resistance of a multilayered graphene nanoribbon is studied. A numerical simulation of bending of a finite multilayered nanoribbon and analysis of its bending vibrations show that interaction of layers significantly increases bending stiffness normalized to a number of layers only for nanoribbons with length L > 12 nm. The greater the length, the stronger this increase. Thus, at length L = 24 nm, layers interaction increases bending stiffness three times for a two-layer nanoribbon and six times for a nine-layer nanoribbon. Therefore, the use of multilayered nanoribbons can significantly increase the bending resistance of extended nanoconstructions.
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.
