Investigation of the motion of fullerene-wheeled nano-machines on thermally activated curved gold substrates.

ABSTRACT: The current study presents one of the first investigations in which the simultaneous effect of the curved gold substrates and temperature changes on C₆₀ and C₆₀-wheeled nano-machines' migration was evaluated. For this aim, the cylindrical and concave substrates with different radii were chosen to attain the size of the most appropriate substrate for nano-machines. Results indicated that the chassis' flexibility substantially affected the nanocar's mobility. Nano-machines' deviation from their desired direction was adequately restricted due to selected substrate geometries (The cylindrical and concave). Besides, for the first time, the effect of the substrate radius changes on nano-machine's motion has been investigated. Our findings revealed that adjusting the value o
