Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Adhesion and Nanoindentation of Gallium Arsenide
The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the nanoscale hardness of gallium arsenide thin films and the elastic-plastic behavior of gallium arsenide under an indenter. These investigations were carried out using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The simulations are based on interatomic p...
