We study the thermal stability of hollow copper nanowires using molecular dynamics simulation. We find that the plasticity-mediated structural evolution leads to transformation of the initial hollow structure to a solid wire. The process involves three distinct stages, namely, collapse, recrystallization and slow recovery. We calculate the time scales associated with different stages of the evolution process. Our findings suggest a plasticity-mediated mechanism of collapse and recrystallization. This contradicts the prevailing notion of diffusion driven transport of vacancies from the interior to outer surface being responsible for collapse, which would involve much longer time scales as compared to the plasticity-based mechanism.

Molecular dynamics with an embedded atom method was used to study the coalescence of heteroclusters at different temperatures. The coalescences between heteroclusters and homoclusters were compared. The results showed that: the coalesced complex of two liquid heteroclusters separated into two small droplets at or above a certain temperature which was much higher than the melting temperature of each cluster. When the temperature was lower than the value, the ordered alignment on the close packed (111) facet was induced by Ni cluster. These phenomena did not occur during the homoclusters coalescence.
