Abstract Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations have been performed using the EAM potential to investigate the deformation behaviors and mechanical properties of <100>/{100} gold nanowires with square cross-section at a certain strain rate under different temperatures ranging from 10 K to 700 K. It is found that <100>/{100} gold nanowires at high temperatures tend to form the extended stable nanobridges-Helical Multi-shell Structure (HMS), which is similar to the deformation behavior of <110> gold nanowires at room temperature reported in the previous experimental observations and simulations. The effect of temperature on the mechanical properties and deformation behaviors of gold nanowires was analyzed. The… More >
