Abstract:The effects of crystallographic direction and temperature on the deformation mechanism and properties of Cu nanowire (NW) are studied via systematic simulations and theoretical analysis. It is found that the elastic module, yield stress and yield strain are quite different for five oriented NWs. As the crystallographic orientation of NW varies, both the yield stress and the yield strain firstly reduce to the minimum value, then gradually increase. Furthermore, the evolutions of flow stress after yield point ar… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
