Показать описание
MD simulation of a graphene sheet embedded in a block of PMMA. The polymer consists of 18 chains with 200 monomers each.

Simulation Details:
Software: LAMMPS
Force Field: Dreiding/X6 for PMMA and AIREBO for graphene.
Time-step: 0.3 fs
Run-time: 300 ps
Temperature: Annealed from 900 K to 300 K
Boundary Condition: Periodic in x and y with constant pressure of 10 atm. Fixed wall in the z direction (along the graphene)

Potential used in the LAMMPS code:
