1. 1. Mechanical properties of SiC nanowires with polytypes

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Anders Vesti; [2019]
   Keywords : atomistic modeling; nanowires; molecular dynamics; simulation; SiC; silicon carbide; fracture behavior; nanomechanics; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : In this report, we model the mechanical properties and fracture behavior of SiC nanowires with different polytypes using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. The mechanical properties investigated are the Young’s modulus, the maximum tensile stress and the fracture strain. The three polytype tested are SiC (3C), (2H) and (4H). READ MORE
