Abstract  

The tension mechanical properties of the [001]  β--SiC nanowires with different cross--sections were investigated using molecular dynamics simulation with Tersoff bond--order interatomic potential. The stress--strain curves were obtained and analyzed in order to elucidate the scale effect on the mechanical properties of the nanowires. The simulation results show that the  β--SiC nanowires exhibit large plastic deformation for at least 11% under axial strain at room temperature, which is rarely observed for their macro counterparts
especially at low temperature. It is also found that the influence of the cross section size of the nanowires on the mechanical properties is remarkable; with increasing of the size the tensile strength and Young's modulus of the nanowires increase.

Key words:  foundational discipline in materials science      tension mechanical properties      molecular dynamics      β--SiC      scale effects      nanowire
