The Strength of Gold Nanowires

Atomistic simulations are used to investigate the yield strength of experimentally observed atomic and nanometer scale gold wires. The atomistic predictions of strength are quantitatively consistent with discrete experimental measurements and they reveal the mechanisms for increasing nanowire streng...
