Because of the rapid shrinking trend of integrated circuits, the performances of nanodevices and nanomechanical systems are greatly affected by the joule heating and mechanical failure dilemma. In addition, structural defects are inevitable during experimental synthesis of nanomaterials, which may alter their physical properties significantly. Investigation of the thermal transport and mechanical behavior of nanostructured materials with structural defects is thus a crucial requirement. In this study, the thermal conductivity (TC) and tensile mechanical behavior of monolayer honeycomb BeO are systematically explored using molecular dynamics simulations. An infinite length bulk TC of ∼277.77 ± 8.93 W/mK was found for the pristine monolayer BeO. However, the insertion of 1% single vacancy (SV) and double vacancy (DV) defects reduces the TC by ∼36.98 and ∼33.52%, respectively. On the other hand, the uniaxial tensile loading produces asymmetrical fracture stress, elastic modulus, and fracture strain behaviors in the armchair and zigzag directions. The elastic modulus was reduced by ∼4.7 and ∼6.6% for 1% SV defects along the armchair and zigzag directions, respectively, whereas the reduction was ∼2.7 and ∼ 5.1% for 1% DV defects. Moreover, because of the strong symmetry-breaking effect, both the TC and mechanical strength were significantly lower for the SV defects than those for the DV defects. The highly softening and decreasing trends of the phonon modes with increasing vacancy concentration and temperature, respectively, were noticed for both types of defects, resulting in a reduction of the TC of the defected structures. These findings will be helpful for the understanding of the heat transport and mechanical characteristics of monolayer BeO as well as provide guidance for the design and control of BeO-based nanoelectronic and nanoelectromechanical devices.
In this study, we
have thoroughly investigated the tensile mechanical
behavior of monolayer XN (X = Ga, In) using molecular dynamics simulations.
The effects of temperature (100 to 800 K) and point vacancies (PVs,
0.1 to 1%) on fracture stress, strain, and elastic modulus of GaN
and InN are studied. The effects of edge chiralities on the tensile
mechanical behavior of monolayer XN are also explored. We find that
the elastic modulus, tensile strength, and fracture strain reduce
with increasing temperature. The point defects cause the stress to
be condensed in the vicinity of the vacancies, resulting in straightforward
damage. On the other hand, all the mechanical behaviors such as fracture
stress, elastic modulus, and fracture strain show substantial anisotropic
nature in these materials. To explain the influence of temperature
and PVs, the radial distribution function (RDF) at diverse temperatures
and potential energy/atom at different vacancy concentrations are
calculated. The intensity of the RDF peaks decreases with increasing
temperature, and the presence of PVs leads to an increase in potential
energy/atom. The current work provides an insight into adjusting the
tensile mechanical behaviors by making vacancy defects in XN (X =
Ga, In) and provides a guideline for the applications of XN (X = Ga,
In) in flexible nanoelectronic and nanoelectromechanical devices.
The involvement of large-scale grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) systems is growing speedily, and enormous effort is given to design the robust control mechanism of PV systems to augment the performance of the PV system in both transient and steady-state states. The terminal voltage may fluctuate at steady-state conditions due to the alternating nature of solar irradiance and affect the low voltage ride through (LVRT) aptitude at the transient period. Therefore, in this paper, a cascaded grid-side AC-DC inverter control strategy is developed by modifying the inverter input signal to control the terminal voltage. The proposed dead-band-based inverter controller maintains the terminal voltage at rated value during steady-state and augments LVRT aptitude at transient conditions by injecting an efficient quantity of reactive power. The overall scenario, including PV system, conventional power plant, and load, has been designed and examined using the "PSCAD/EMTDC" platform. The traditional control system is taken into comparison with the proposed control system to verify the effectiveness of this innovative control technique.
The orientations of crystal growth significantly affect the operating characteristics of elastic and inelastic deformation in semiconductor nanowires (NWs).
