Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Nanoscale Abrasive Wear of Polycrystalline Silicon

In this work, molecular dynamics simulations of the nanoscratching of polycrystalline and singlecrystalline silicon substrates using a single-crystal diamond tool are conducted to investigate the grain size effect on the nanoscale wear process of polycrystalline silicon. We find that for a constant...
