(A) Substrates schematics. Cylinder (left) and concave (right) substrate. The substrates had the radii of 20 Å and 17.5 Å for nanocar and nanotruck, respectively, with the length of 27a. Green balls show gold substrates. (B) The initial composition of nanovehicles on the substrate form top (left) and front (right) view. (C) Different nanotrucks made of the selected fullerenes (i) A nanotruck made of C36 as the wheel. (ii) A nanotruck made of C50 as the wheel. (iii) A nanotruck made of C60 as the wheel. (iv) A nanotruck made of C76 as the wheel. (v) A nanotruck made of C80 as the wheel. (vi) A nanotruck made of C90 as the wheel. The figures were generated based on simulations coded in Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS) [available at https://www.lammps.org/] and visualized using the Visual Molecular Dynamics (VMD) package [version 1.9.4, available at http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/].
