| contents | The method of molecular dynamics and molecular mechanics has been used to numerically simulate the formation of wrinkle systems during compression of a graphene sheet lying on a flat solid substrate. It is shown that under uniaxial compression the nanosheet can transition into several stable wrinkled states: the most energetically favorable one is a linear wrinkle of infinite length. Higher energy states include wrinkles of finite length aligned along the same line where their ends partially overlap. Under biaxial compression, the graphene nanosheet can contain one linear wrinkle or two linear non-intersecting or intersecting wrinkles corresponding to weak, medium and strong compression, respectively. There are several nanosheet states with intersecting wrinkles that differ in structure of intersection area. The effect of external hydrostatic pressure on the shape of wrinkles has been studied. It is shown that there is a critical pressure value at which the wrinkle either completely flattens (disappears) or collapses into a vertical two-layer fold (the first scenario is possible only with weak compression of the sheet). |
