Atomistic Simulations of the Deformation and Energetics of Metal Nanowires

Nanowires are an exciting class of novel materials that have potential applications in areas including biological sensing, photonics, and electronics. The promise of these future applications relies on the production of nanowires of controlled size, shape, and crystal structure, in reasonable quant...
