摘要: The graphitic ordering of the amorphous state carbon has been a long-standing challenge. Whilst there are numerous transformation methodologies, including high-temperature-pressure approach, still many unclear elements concerning mechanism. By employing classical molecular dynamics simulations, process graphitization is modelled and analyzed. A systematic study various schemes loading conditions suggests that (1) axial strain vital ingredient in transformation, (2) exists close relationship between mean layer atomic density structure process. Furthermore, non-simultaneity (i.e., delayed manner) (by high-temperature annealing straining) promotes greater extent graphitization, as compared to concurrent means. More interestingly, edge non-edge bonds behave dissimilarly response change density, prevails at different stages fast slow schemes. Virial pressure calculations validate structural stability.
