Abstract :
Here we show by molecular dynamics that graphene could be utilized as dry adhesive interacting with semiconductor substrates. Various potential semiconductor substrates are introduced and present similar results. This work opens up a new prospect for the applications of graphene and would be valuable for the scientific studies of adhesion at nanoscale.
