Exploring the Elastic Properties and Fracture Patterns of Me-Graphene Monolayers and Nanotubes through Reactive Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Using reactive molecular dynamics simulations with the Tersoff force field, this study reveals that Me-graphene monolayers and nanotubes exhibit Young's moduli ranging from approximately 414 to 483 GPa and undergo brittle fracture directly from the elastic regime without plastic deformation.
