We calculate the sputtering induced on a nanoporous material by fast penetrating ions, such as those used for track formation and surface modification, in order to better understand and quantify the ejection and redeposition ...

Carbon nanoscrolls (graphene layers rolled up into papyrus-like tubular structures) are nanostructures with unique and interesting characteristics that could be exploited to build several new nanodevices. However, an ...

The transition from elastic to plastic behaviour in single crystal copper nanowires under uniaxial tensile stress at different concentrations of silver (0.0–0.5 at.% Ag) and at different temperatures (0.1, 100, and 300 ...

We present atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of the impact of copper nano particles at 5 km s 1 on copper films ranging in thickness from from 0.5 to 4 times the projectile diameter. We access both penetration and ...

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are a set of proteins that lack a definite secondary structure in solution. IDPs can acquire tertiary structure when bound to their partners; therefore, the recognition process must ...

Using an atomistic shell model we study the temperature dependence of the ferroelectric properties of BaTiO3 under biaxial compressive strain applicable to growth on perovskites substrate. Molecular dynamics simulations ...
