Au nanowire junction breakup through surface atom diffusion
Simon Vigonski, Ville Jansson, Sergei Vlassov +6
Metallic nanowires are known to break into shorter fragments due to the Rayleigh instability mechanism. This process is strongly accelerated at elevated temperatures and can comple…
Simulations of surface stress effects in nanoscale single crystals
Vahur Zadin, Mihkel Veske, Simon Vigonski +5
Onset of vacuum arcing near a metal surface is often associated with nanoscale asperities, which may dynamically appear due to different processes ongoing in the surface and subsur…
Migration barriers for surface diffusion on a rigid lattice: challenges and solutions
Ekaterina Baibuz, Simon Vigonski, Jyri Lahtinen +4
Atomistic rigid lattice Kinetic Monte Carlo is an efficient method for simulating nano-objects and surfaces at timescales much longer than those accessible by molecular dynamics. A…
