Nanometric cutting removes material at nanoscale and generates high-quality surfaces with
a nanometric finish. In past decades, it has thrived as a mainstream manufacturing …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation has enhanced our understanding about ductile-regime
machining of brittle materials such as silicon and germanium. In particular, MD simulation …

Nanograined metals have the merit of high strength, but usually suffer from low work
hardening capacity and poor thermal stability, causing premature failure and limiting their …

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a promising semiconductor material for high-performance power
electronics devices, but difficult to machine. The development of cost-effective machining …

The development of interatomic potentials employing artificial neural networks has seen
tremendous progress in recent years. While until recently the applicability of neural network …

This book covers the essentials of Computational Science and gives tools and techniques to
solve materials science problems using molecular dynamics (MD) and first-principles …

Interatomic potentials approximate the potential energy of atoms as a function of their
coordinates. Their main application is the effective simulation of many-atom systems. Here …

The diversity of thermal transport properties in carbon nanomaterials enables them to be
used in different thermal fields such as heat dissipation, thermal management, and …

A detailed review of the literature for the last 5–10 years on epitaxial growth of graphene is
presented. Both experimental and theoretical aspects related to growth on transition metals …

We perform a comparative study of six common carbon interatomic potentials: Tersoff, REBO-
II, ReaxFF, EDIP, LCBOP-I and COMB3. To ensure fair comparison, all the potentials are …
