Abstract
Recently, silicon nanotubes (SiNTs) have been successfully synthesized and have attracted many researchers to work on the different aspects of them. In the present study, the stress-strain curve along with the Young’s modulus as a significant mechanical property of single walled silicon nanotubes at different diameters are determined. The simulation is performed by the use of molecular dynamics based on the Tersoff-Brenner many-body potential energy function. The results of the total strain energy of nanotubes as an accurate and effective methodology are used to establish appropriate expressions for evaluating Young’s modulus of the nanotubes.
