Molecular dynamics simulations of nanoindentation and scratch in Cu grain boundaries

The dynamic nanomechanical characteristics of Cu films with different grain boundaries under nanoindentation and scratch conditions were studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The type of grain boundary is the main factor in the control of the substrate atoms with respect to the size of dis...
