Structure-dependent mechanical properties of ultrathin zinc oxide nanowires

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Mechanical properties of ultrathin zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires of about 0.7-1.1 nm width and in the unbuckled wurtzite (WZ) phase have been carried out by molecular dynamics simulation. As the width of the nanowire decreases, Young's modulus, stress-strain be...
