Influence of microstructures on mechanical behaviours of SiC nanowires: a molecular dynamics study

The tensile behaviours of [111]-oriented SiC nanowires with various microstructures areinvestigated by using molecular dynamics simulations. The results revealed the influence ofmicrostructures on brittleness and plasticity of SiC nanowires. Plastic deformation is mainlyinduced by the anti-parallel...
