Abstract
When depositing a substance onto a surface, it follows that as one adds more of the substance, the thickness of the film formed on the surface will grow. However, a particle's ability to adsorb onto the surface is dependent on the interaction potential and geometry. For atomically flat two-dimensional materials such as graphene, it is predicted that the interactions between the graphene sheet and light atoms in a nearby gas are so weak that film growth may become arrested at a critical thickness. We report on molecular dynamics simulations of nitrogen near graphene to explore the existence and properties of the predicted critical film.
