Abstract

The method of molecular-dynamics is employed to simulate and investigate the deformation of metallic nanowires under tensile strain. The interactions between metallic atoms are calculated by using the embedded-atom method potential. A model nanowire is preliminarily equilibrated at a specified temperature. Then, the uniform uniaxial extension of the nanowire is performed. The thinning process of a metallic nanowire is observed in the sequential snapshots of its morphological change.
