FEM Analysis on the Phenomenon of Bilayer Nanofilm Bending into Nanotube with Effects of Adsorption and Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nanotubes, fabricated by mechanical bending of thin films, have been widely used in numerous fields. For a bilayer nanofilm, it could bend itself driven by effects of adsorption and ambient temperature. Therefore, in this work, we simulate the phenomenon of bilayer AuSi nanofilm bending into nanotube with the effects of surface stress induced by vdW interaction between adsorbed O or Hg atoms and atoms on Au surface and ambient temperature change by finite element emulation. The curves of nanotube calculated by finite element software accord with theoretical prediction results very well, that demonstrate our theoretical prediction formula has a great feasibility and efficiency in practical application.
