Thickness-Dependent Strain Effect on the Deformation of the Graphene-Encapsulated Au Nanoparticles

The strain effect on graphene-encapsulated Au nanoparticles is investigated. A finite-element calculation is performed to simulate the strain distribution and morphology of the monolayer and multilayer graphene-encapsulated Au nanoparticles, respectively. It can be found that the inhomogeneous strai...
