Superlubricity-activated thinning of graphite flakes compressed by passivated crystalline silicon substrates for graphene exfoliation

A special thinning phenomenon is observed through molecular dynamics, where compression of AB-stacked graphite flakes between two hydrogen-terminated silicon substrates leads to the exfoliation of graphene layers. We have used multiple molecular dynamics simulations to study how this thinning phenom...
