Abstract

Molecular-dynamics simulations have been used to study the diffusion of a short single model carbonic chain on the graphite (001) surface. The calculated diffusion coefficient (D) first increases, then decreases with increasing chain length (N). This abnormal behavior is similar to polymer lateral diffusion at the solid-liquid interface. Furthermore, we have studied the relation between the mean-square gyration radius and N.
