▎ 摘　　要

In this letter, nanodirectional motion due to intrinsic warping edge of graphene nanoribbon is demonstrated using theoretical analysis and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Simulation model is established and the underlying physical insights of intrinsic nanodirectional motion are investigated. It is found that nanodirectional motion of carbon fullerene is gradient-dependent. Directional motion with +z-warping graphene edge is energetically favorable over the -z-warping configuration. As a result, a novel nanodirectional motion actuator inspired by intrinsic edge warping with Gaussian curvature can be designed. The obtained results in current research are fundamental and general, similar intrinsic properties and design paradigms can be applied to other 2D materials beyond graphene. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.
