Size and temperature effects on the fracture mechanisms of silicon nanowires: Molecular dynamics simulations (2010, background): “For metal nanowires (Ni, Au, Cu), there have been several atomistic tension simulations (Ikeda et al., 1999; Brańıcio and Rino, 2000; Gall et al., 2004; Park and Zimmerman, 2006; Park et al., 2006), according to which ductile failures after large deformation are commonly reported regardless of NW si”
A surface Cauchy–Born model for nanoscale materials (2006, background): “Furthermore, the tensile stresses that nanowires can sustain before yielding typically can reach 5–10 GPa [14, 15], which are about one order of magnitude larger than bulk materials.”
Deformation of FCC nanowires by twinning and slip (2006, methodology): “…failure modes in metal nanowires (Mehrez and Ciraci, 1997; Park and Zimmerman, 2006; Walsh et al., 2001; Park and Zimmerman, 2005; Wu et al., 2004; Gall et al., 2004; Liang and Zhou, 2004); one work which examined the yield behavior of nanowires in compression was that of Diao et al. (2004), who…”
Brittle and ductile fracture of semiconductor nanowires – molecular dynamics simulations (2007, background): “Furthermore, the mechanical properties is found to be size-dependent [9, 10, 11, 12, 13] for micro- and nano-scale samples.”
