Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study of the effect of temperature and strain rate on the Elastic Properties of bimetallic Nanowires
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nanomaterial sensing layers are employed for chemical and biological species detection in surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors. The response characteristics of these sensors depend on the changes in the mechanical properties of the nanomaterials as the SAW propagates through the sensing layer. Knowledge of the mechanical properties is important to establish the stability and robustness of SAW sensors. In this paper, we investigate the mechanical properties of bimetallic nanowires which are a class of nanomaterials used in SAW sensors.
