Description
Summary:The mechanical properties of extended palladium nanocontacts have been investigated by the molecular dynamics method. The characteristic interatomic distances in the contacts have been determined and the process of the formation of palladium atomic contacts undergoing breaking has been studied for the (100), (110), and (111) orientations of the contact-surface interfaces.
