▎ 摘  要

We have investigated the motion of a C-60 molecule absorbed on sinusoidal graphene nanoflake (GNF) via molecular dynamics simulations. Since C-60 deposited on sinusoidal GNF is favorable on energetic grounds, the C-60 molecule moved toward one of the valleys of sinusoidal GNF without energy barrier. So no sooner the C-60 molecule was deposited on the sinusoidal GNF, then the C-60 molecule immediately began to move toward the valley of the sinusoidal GNF. Since the position of the C-60 molecule can be changed by externally applied force fields and has a binding energy of 0.754 eV in the valley of sinusoidal GNF, the sinusoidal C-60/GNF can be applied to a switchable nonvolatile memory device. This work provides the probability of alternative 'bucky shuttle' memory based on the sinusoidal C-60/GNF hybrid nanostructure.
