Molecular Dynamics Simulation Studies of Surface-stress Effects in Metallic Nanostructures

Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations we investigate the surface-stress-induced structural transformations and pseudoelastic behavior in palladium (Pd) crystalline nanowires. For a <100> initial crystal orientation our studies indicate that the surface stress can cause Pd nanowires to spon...
