An insight into thermal properties of BC3-graphene hetero-nanosheets: a molecular dynamics study

Maryam Zarghami Dehaghani et al.

Summary: Simulation of the thermal properties of BC(3)GrHs revealed that the presence of grain boundaries with topological defects such as pentagons and heptagons can significantly impact the interfacial thermal resistance. The Kapitza resistance was found to increase with higher defect density in the grain boundary. Symmetric grain boundaries with 5-7-6-6 and 5-7-5-7 defect pairs showed the lowest and highest values of Kapitza resistance, respectively, indicating the importance of defect structure in thermal properties. Additionally, temperature and strain were observed to affect the Kapitza resistance, while the length of the nanosheets and temperature gradient had a negligible effect.

A theoretical insight into the fracture behavior of the edge-cracked polycrystalline BC3 nanosheets

Ali Dadrasi et al.

Summary: The study found that the mechanical properties of monocrystalline BC3 nanosheets decreased with increasing temperature or crack length, with higher properties achieved in the armchair direction. Stress intensity followed a similar trend with temperature but increased with crack length. For polycrystalline BC3 nanosheets, their properties were lower than the corresponding monocrystalline BC3 nanosheets at 300K.

Fracture behavior of SiGe nanosheets: Mechanics of monocrystalline vs. polycrystalline structure

Maryam Zarghami Dehaghani et al.

Summary: The study on the mechanical properties of silicon-germanium nanosheets at high temperatures reveals that the material performance decreases as the temperature rises, while the increase in grain size and randomness also reduce the elastic modulus and failure strength. Furthermore, the increase in crack and notch size, as well as temperature, have a detrimental effect on the material's properties.

Hypersonic impact properties of pristine and hybrid single and multi-layer C3N and BC3 nanosheets

Fatemeh Molaei et al.

Summary: Carbon, nitrogen, and boron nanostructures show promise as ballistic protection materials due to their excellent mechanical properties. This study investigated the ballistic properties of C3N and BC3 nanosheets, determining their critical perforation conditions and energy absorption characteristics. The results indicate that C3N nanosheets have higher absorption energy than BC3, and in hybrid structures, C3N layers can improve the ballistic properties of BC3.

Fracture fingerprint of polycrystalline C3N nanosheets: Theoretical basis

Babak Bagheri et al.

Summary: The fracture behavior of polycrystalline carbon nanosheets, modeled using heterogeneous graphitic carbon nitride, was studied through molecular dynamics simulations. It was found that increasing the number of grain boundaries and crack length resulted in a significant decrease in Young's modulus, while small cracks exhibited higher fracture toughness. This theoretical approach can be generalized to capture the unique fracture fingerprint of different types of polycrystalline carbon structures.

Thermal conductivity of random polycrystalline BC3 nanosheets: A step towards realistic simulation of 2D structures

Sasan Fooladpanjeh et al.

Summary: The study simulated polycrystalline boron carbide nanosheets using Molecular Dynamics simulation and found that the thermal conductivity decreases non-linearly with increasing grain number due to more phonon scattering from structural defects. Additionally, increasing the grain rotation angle led to higher Kapitza thermal resistance, limiting heat transfer across polycrystalline nanosheets.

An insight into the temperature-dependent sintering mechanisms of metal nanoparticles through MD-based microstructural analysis

Abolfazl Malti et al.

Summary: The study reveals a reverse correlation between solidification time and amorphous content, with the process controlled by dislocation slip at temperatures from 600-1000 K and by surface diffusion and thermal twinning beyond 1000 K. Optimal parameters are identified as a combination of dislocation slip and surface diffusion at 1000 K with 100 ps sintering. Temperature-dependent MSD diagrams are monitored for a detailed analysis of sintering dynamics.
