Locomotion of the C60-based nanomachines on graphene surfaces

Abstract We provide a comprehensive computational characterization of surface motion of two types of nanomachines with four C60 “wheels”: a flexible chassis Nanocar and a rigid chassis Nanotruck. We study the nanocars’ lateral and rotational diffusion as well as the wheels’ rolling motion on two kin...
