Fig. 4: Rotation angle distributions of C24 during MD.

From: Molecular dynamics simulation of graphene sinking during chemical vapor deposition growth on semi-molten Cu substrate

Fig. 4

a Semi-molten surface, 1350 K, b Liquid surface, 1350 K, c Semi-molten surface, 1400 K, d Liquid surface, 1400 K. e Snapshots of C24 on the semi-molten Cu surface at 0, 29, 37, 46, and 116 ps, respectively. For visualization, the Cu atoms beneath C24 are not shown. Cyan balls represent C atoms. The yellow arrow selected at 0 ps rotates rigidly with C24 and the white dashed line denotes the original direction of yellow arrow at 0 ps. The rotation angle is defined as the angle between the yellow arrow and the white dashed line.
