Acoustic and double elastic shock waves in single-crystal graphene
2020
Double elastic shock waves are rarely observed in two-dimensional (2D) materials and normally unexpected for elastically isotropic 2D crystals such as graphene. With large-scale molecular dynamics simulations, we show that in single-crystal graphene shock-loaded along nonzigzag and nonarmchair directions, double elastic shock waves (quasilongitudinal and quasitransverse) can emerge. Quantitative acoustic wave equation analysis reveals that shock-induced symmetry reduction in lattice, as well as in elastic stiffness tensor, gives rise to the normally unexpected quasitransverse wave following the quasilongitudinal wave.Double elastic shock waves are rarely observed in two-dimensional (2D) materials and normally unexpected for elastically isotropic 2D crystals such as graphene.
