Atomistic simulations of elastic properties of metallic nanowires

• In this paper, we report the results of a systematic study of the scaling effects of Young's modulus of nanowires of body-centered cubic iron. The investigation is performed by employing molecular statics tensile simulations. Two different crystallographic orientations are studied. The simulations show that there is a size dependence in Young's modulus, where the different crystallographic orientations display completely different behaviors.
