Abstract:Vibrational behavior is very important for nanostructure-based resonators. In this work, an orthotropic plate model together with a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is used to investigate the thermal vibration of rectangular single-layered black phosphorus (SLBP). Two bending stiffness, two Poisson's ratios, and one shear modulus of SLBP are calculated using the MD simulation. The natural frequency of the SLBP predicted by the orthotropic plate model agrees with the one obtained from the MD simulation very well. The root of mean squared (RMS) amplitude of the SLBP is obtained by MD simulation and the orthotropic plate model considering the law of energy equipartition. The RMS amplitude of the thermal vibration of the SLBP is predicted well by the orthotropic plate model compared to the MD results. Furthermore, the thermal vibration of the SLBP with an initial stress is also well-described by the orthotropic plate model.
