TL;DR: In this paper, a molecular statics approach based on embedded-atom-method interatomic potentials was employed to study the elasticity of copper nanowires along [001, [110], and [111] crystallographic directions.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of molecular dynamics simulations of a circular grain embedded in an otherwise single-crystal matrix and monitor both the grain size and the misorientation of the two grains as a function of time were performed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the dependence of intrinsic grain boundary mobility on misorientation was studied using the same geometry that ensures steady-state, curvature-driven boundary migration, and the boundary velocity was found to be a linear function of the curvature and the mobility was observed to be an Arrhenius function of temperature.

TL;DR: This work presents large-scale CVD synthesis of single- and few-layered MoS2 using direct vapor-phase sulfurization of MoO2, which enables them to obtain extremely high-quality single-crystal monolayer MoS 2 samples with field-effect mobility exceeding 30 cm(2)/(V s) in monolayers.

TL;DR: In this article, mesoscopic simulations of microstructural evolution during curvature driven grain growth in two-dimensions using anisotropic grain boundary properties obtained from atomistic simulations were employed to determine the energies and mobilities of grain boundaries as a function of boundary misorientation.
