چکیده
In this work, we report first-principles calculations of the electronic structure of silver infinite nanotubes, chains and nanowires. For the purpose of this study, the focus is on two specific types of silver nanostructures. We have calculated the electronic structures for the silver (2,3) and the silver (3,4) extended nanostructures. For the (2,3) structure, we modeled the single-wall tube, and for the (3,4) structure, we modeled the hollow singlewall tube, as well as the tube with a linear chain inserted along the tube’s axis.

Nanowires fine tunable fabrication by varying the concentration ratios, the etchant and the plating spices in metal-assisted chemical etching of silicon wafer.
The metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) was used to synthesis silicon nanowires. The effect of etchant concentration, etching and chemical plating time and doping density on silicon nanowires length were investigated. It is held that the increasing of HF and H2O2 concentrations lead to etching rate increment and formation of wire-like structure. The results show that, the appropriate ratio o...
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...
متن کاملDo Twin Boundaries Always Strengthen Metal Nanowires?
It has been widely reported that twin boundaries strengthen nanowires regardless of their morphology-that is, the strength of nanowires goes up as twin spacing goes down. This article shows that twin boundaries do not always strengthen nanowires. Using classical molecular dynamics simulations, the authors show that whether twin boundaries strengthen nanowires depends on the necessary stress for...
متن کاملComputational materials chemistry at the nanoscale
In order to illustrate how atomistic modeling is being used to determine the structure, physical, and chemical properties of materials at the nanoscale, we present here the results of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on nanoscale assemblies of such materials as carbon nanotubes, diamond surfaces, metal alloy nanowires, and ceramics. We also include here the results of nonequilibrium MD simul...

In this study, we synthesis one-dimensional (1D) manganese(III) Schiff base coordination polymer [Mn(Brsalophen)(μ1,3-N3)]n by reaction of MnCl2·6H2O and tetradentate Schiff base ligand Brsalophen at the presence of NaN3 in methanol and characterized by elemental analyses (CHN) and FT-IR spectroscopy. It was used as a new precurs...
