Melting of Single-Walled Silicon Carbide Nanotubes: Density Functional Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Density functional molecular dynamics are used to study the melting behavior of single-walled SiC nanotubes. The melting of SiC nanotubes starts from the thermally activated Stone—Wales defects. The melting temperature is found to increase with the increasing diameter of nanotubes. The SiC nanotubes...
