Statistical Molecular Dynamics Study of (111) and (100) Ni Nanocontacts: Evidences of Pentagonal Nanowires
Figure 5
Longitudinal (left) and cross-section (right) views of a nanowire stretched along the (100)
direction. The snapshot was acquired for an atomic configuration with minimum
cross-section close to . The cross-section image shows a perspective view of
the nanowire as seen from the position indicated on the longitudinal view. This
image illustrates the appearance of staggered pentagonal structures –5–1–5–1–.
