摘要：

Crack propagation in a graphite sheet is investigated with million atom molecular-dynamics simulations based on Brenner's reactive empirical bend-order potential. For certain crystalline orientations, multiple crack branches with nearly equal spacing sprout as the crack tip reaches a critical speed of 0.6V(R), where V-R is the Rayleigh wave speed. This results in a fracture surface with secondary branches and overhangs. Within the same branch the crack-front profile is characterized by a roughness exponent, alpha = 0.41 +/- 0.05. However, for interbranch fracture surface profiles the return probability yields alpha = 0.71 +/- 0.10. Fracture toughness is estimated from Griffith analysis and local-stress distributions.
