| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The compression response characteristics of graphene/C60/graphene interface nanostructures was discussed. First, we focused on the compressive properties of the nanostructure in which a single C60 molecule is sandwiched between graphene sheets. Comparing the effective spring constant of the entire interface system with those of single C60 and of C60-graphene interlayer, it was clarified that the C60/graphene interface system can be regarded as a series spring of C60 single molecule spring and C60-graphene interlayer spring. Next, we focused on the graphene sheet, which is a component of the interface structure, and we developed an effective potential function that coarse-grained the Tersoff potential function, which represents a covalent bond. As a result, we succeeded in increasing the calculation speed of graphene adhesion to 10,000 times that of the conventional Tersoff function.

本研究プロジェクトで得られたグラフェン/C60/グラフェン界面構造の特異な圧力応答を利用すれば、特定の荷重で可逆的に超潤滑のONとOFFが切り替わる「摩擦可変（超潤滑）スイッチ」の開発につながる。本プロジェクトでは圧縮応答をC60単体、C60-グラフェン層間の機械特性から理解できることを示し、界面ナノ機械デバイスに向けた知見が得られた。また原子ポテンシャルを粗視化するポテンシャル関数を開発し、計算速度を1万倍まで上げたことで、これまでナノスケールに限定されていた機械特性の議論を、マイクロスケールに拡張し、マルチスケールトライボロジーへの可能性が拓かれた。
