Abstract

We have investigated the melting behavior of ultra-thin copper nanowires by using classical molecular dynamics simulations. The caloric curves of cylindrical multi-shell copper nanowires provided insight into the specific phase transition. The melting temperature of the copper nanowires was linearly proportional to the number of atoms per layer. When nanowires had almost the same number of atoms per layer regardless of initial structures, the melting temperatures of the nanowires were much the same.
