摘要

A new approach in each step of which the interfullerene distance is fixed and other degrees of freedom are allowed to relax is proposed to simulate the thermal-driven depolymerization process of a two-dimensional hexagonal C-60 polymer. The resulting depolymerization energy barrier is significantly improved compared with the previous approach in each step of which the lattice constant is fixed while the atomic positions are relaxed.
