The Size Effects of Point Defect on the Mechanical Properties of Monocrystalline Silicon: A Molecular Dynamics Study

The molecular dynamics method was used to simulate the fracture process of monocrystalline silicon with different sizes of point defect under a constant strain rate. The mechanism of the defect size on the mechanical properties of monocrystalline silicon was also investigated. The results suggested...
