Mechanical behavior of gallium nitride nanotubes under combined tension-torsion: An atomistic simulation

Abstract

The tensile mechanical behavior of single crystalline gallium nitride (GaN) nanotubes under combined tension-torsion is investigated using molecular dynamics simulations with an empirical potential. The simulation results show that a small torsion rate (
