Quantum necking in stressed metallic nanowires.
When a macroscopic metallic wire is subject to tensile stress, it necks down smoothly as it elongates. We show that nanowires with radii comparable to the Fermi wavelength display remarkably different behavior. Using concepts from fluid dynamics, a partial differential equation for nanowire shape evolution is derived from a semiclassical energy functional that includes electron-shell effects. A...
متن کاملPlasmon resonant coupling in metallic nanowires.
We investigate the plasmon resonances of interacting silver nanowires with a 50 nm diameter. Both non-touching and intersecting configurations are investigated. While individual cylinders exhibit a single plasmon resonance, we observe much more complex spectra of resonances for interacting structures. The number and magnitude of the different resonances depend on the illumination direction and ...
متن کاملStrain Rate Induced Amorphization in Metallic Nanowires
Using molecular dynamics simulations with a many-body force field, we studied the deformation of metal alloy nanowires subjected to various strain rates. For all strain rates, the Ni nanowire is elastic up to of 7.5% strain with a yield stress of 5.5 GPa, far above that of bulk Ni. At high strain rates, the crystalline phase transforms continuously to an amorphous phase, exhibiting a dramatic c...
متن کاملAtomistic modeling of metallic nanowires in silicon.
Scanning tunneling microscope (STM) lithography has recently demonstrated the ultimate in device scaling with buried, conducting nanowires just a few atoms wide and the realization of single atom transistors, where a single P atom has been placed inside a transistor architecture with atomic precision accuracy. Despite the dimensions of the critical parts of these devices being defined by a smal...
متن کامل0 Metallic nanowires : multi - shelled or filled ?
The room temperature structure of aluminum, copper and gold infinite nanowires is studied. The molecular dynamics simulation method and the same type of the embedded atom potentials made by Voter and coworkers are used. It was found that multi-shelled and various filled metallic nanowires exist depending on the metal and the initial configuration. The results were compared with previous simulat...
