| Abstract: | The process of the formation of nanocontacts has been studied by the molecular dynamics methods for a group of metals (Cu,
Rh, Pd, Ag, Pt, Au). It has been shown that the disruption forces of nanocontacts substantially depend on the orientation
((100), (110), or (111)) of the contact-surface interface. The possibility of forming linear atomic chains as a result of
the disruption of nanocontacts has been analyzed for different orientations of the electrode surfaces. The possibility of
forming quasi-one-dimensional nanostructures from the Co/Au alloy, which represent a periodic alternation of gold atoms and
cobalt trimers, has been predicted. |
