A Grain Boundary Regulates the Friction Behaviors between Graphene and a Gold Substrate

The nanofriction of graphene is critical for its broad applications as a lubricant and in flexible electronics. Herein, using a Au substrate as an example, we have investigated the effect of the grain boundary on the nanofriction of graphene by means of molecular dynamics simulations. We have system...
