Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Nanocar Motion on Carbon Structures, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Nejat Pishkenari, Hossein (Supervisor) ; Ejtehadi, Mohammad Reza (Supervisor)
Abstract
Nanomachines are molecules inspired by natural molecular machines and are able to move and transport at the nanoscale. Due to the advancement of nanotechnology, the need to move materials and energy on a small scale is necessary more than ever. Nanocars are artificial molecular machines with chassis, axles, and wheels designed for nanoscale transport at materials’ surfaces. Understanding the dependence of surface dynamics of nanocars on the substrate’s physico-chemical properties is critical to the design of the transport properties of such man-made nanoscale devices. Among the multitude of potential substrates for the nanotransporters, graphene exhibits intrinsic ripples on its surface,...
