纳米结构弹性常数的量子表示

Quantum Manifestation of Elastic Constants in Nanostructures

Miao Liu, Feng Liu

摘要:

通常,在改变低维纳米结构的性质时存在两种不同的效应:由于增加的表面积-体积比而引起的表面效应(SS)和由于在减小的维度中的量子限制而引起的量子尺寸效应(QSE)。SS已被广泛地显示影响纳米结构的弹性常数和机械性能。在这里,我们以铅纳米膜和石墨烯纳米带为模型系统,通过第一性原理计算证明了纳米结构弹性常数的QSE。我们发现,一般QSE是占主导地位的影响金属纳米结构的弹性常数,而SS是更明显的半导体和绝缘体纳米结构。我们的发现在纳米力学的量子方面具有广泛的意义。

英文摘要:

Generally, there are two distinct effects in modifying the properties of low-dimensional nanostructures: surface effect (SS) due to increased surface-volume ratio and quantum size effect (QSE) due to quantum confinement in reduced dimension. The SS has been widely shown to affect the elastic constants and mechanical properties of nanostructures. Here, using Pb nanofilm and graphene nanoribbon as model systems, we demonstrate the QSE on the elastic constants of nanostructures by first-principles calculations. We show that generally QSE is dominant in affecting the elastic constants of metallic nanostructures while SS is more pronounced in semiconductor and insulator nanostructures. Our findings have broad implications in quantum aspects of nanomechanics.
