Here we present graphene-based nanoelectromechanical switch with the vertical carbon nanotube electrode via classical molecular dynamics simulations. The carbon nanotube is grown in the center of the square hole and the graphene covers on the hole. The potential difference between the bottom of the hole and the graphene is applied to deflect the graphene. By performing classical molecular dynamic simulations, we investigate the electromechanical properties of graphene-based nanoelectro- mechanical switch with carbon nanotube electrode, which can be switched by the externally applied force. This simulation work explicitly demonstrated that such devices are applicable to nanoscale sensors and quantum computing, as well as ultra-fast-response switching devices.
