High-temperature quantum chemical molecular dynamics simulations have been performed on model systems of thin SiC crystal surfaces with two graphene sheets placed on top of either C or Si face. In agreement with experiment, we find that (a) the C-face-attached graphene layer warps readily to form small diameter, stable nanocaps, suitable for further perpendicular growth of nanotubes, (b) the Si-face-attached graphene sheet does not readily wrap and forms more volatile Si-graphene bonds, and (c) C face nanocaps appear to anneal to dome-shape structures with zigzag chirality.
