Abstract

In this work, we investigate the operational properties of this proposed device in detail via classical MD simulations. The bi-stability of the GNF(Graphene Nano-flake) shuttle encapsulated in bi-layer GNR could be achieved from the increase of the attractive energy between the GNRs when the GNF approached the edges of the GNRs. This result showed the potential application of the nano-electromechanical GNR memory as a NVRAM.
