Molecular dynamics simulations of ion beam irradiation on graphene/MoS₂ heterostructure.

ABSTRACT: The interaction between ion irradiation and two-dimensional (2D) heterostructures is important for the performance modulation and application realization, while few studies have been reported. This paper investigates the influence of Ar ion irradiation on graphene/MoS₂ heterostructure by using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The generation of defects is studied at first by considering the influence factors (i.e., irradiation energy, dose, stacking order, and substrate). Then uniaxial tensile test simulations are conducted to uncover the evolution of the mechanical performance of graphene/MoS₂ heterostructure after being irradiated by ions. At last, the control rule of interlayer distance in graphene/MoS₂ heterostructure by ion irradiation is illustrate
