▎ 摘  要

Using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics method, we study the self-healing behavior of graphene after bombarded by fullerene (C60) through controlling the environmental temperature and the incident velocity of C60. The self-healing probability depends on the size of graphene, the velocity of fullerene (C60), and the temperature of heat baths. It is suggested that the self-healing in damaged graphene originates from thermal fluctuation. Our results can offer additional insights for further understanding self-healing mechanisms and bombardment phenomena in low dimensional materials. Additionally, controlling the bombardment between the graphene and the fullerene (C60) may also lead to some potential applications in the surface cleaning of graphene and the production of nanopore.
