Microstructure-dependent mechanical behaviors of SiC nanowires

The tensile behaviors of [111]-oriented SiC nanowires (NWs) with various microstructures are investigated by using molecular dynamics simulations. The results elucidate the influence of microstructures on brittleness and plasticity of SiC NWs. Plastic deformation is mainly induced by the anti-parall...
