Abstract

The Stillinger-Weber potential-based MD (Molecular dynamics) method is used to simulate the heating-up and axial tension of Si/Ge core-shell and superlattice nanowires; according to the simulative results, the differences in their thermal and mechanical properties are discussed. The results show the following: (1) The Si/Ge superlattice nanowire is more thermally stable than the core-shell one, and their melting points are 1160 and 1320 K, respectively. (2) The Si/Ge core-shell nanowire has higher elastic module than the super-lattice one. (3) Under tension, the super-lattice nanowire has better antideformation capability than the core-shell one but has comparative antiloading capability.
