Comprehensive atomistic modeling of copper nanowires-based surface connectors

In this paper, we study the mechanical behavior of surface nanoconnectors that are developed using two contacting sets of patterned copper (Cu) nanowire (NW) arrays. Specifically, comprehensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are conducted to establish the mechanics and the mechanisms involved a...
