The mechanical properties and deformation mechanism of nickel nanowire of dimension 100 Å (x-axis) × 1000 Å (y-axis) × 100 Å (z-axis) containing a single linear surface defect is studied at different temperatures using molecular dynamics simulations. The defect is created by deleting a row of atoms on the surface and is inclined at 25° to the loading axis. The tensile test is carried out at 0.01 K, 10 K, 100 K and 300 K temperature and 108 s-1strain rate. To determine the effect of temperature on the stress-strain curves, fracture and failure mechanism, a thorough investigation has taken place. Maximum strength of 21.26 GPa is observed for NW deformed at 0.01 K temperature and the strength decreased with increase in temperature. Through slip lines, the deformation relief pattern taken place by developing the extrusion areas along with intrusion over the surface defect area in all NWs deformed at respective temperatures. Further it is observed that fracture strains decrease with increase in temperature. After yielding, stacking faults associated with dislocations are generated by slip on all four {111} planes. Different type of dislocations with both intrinsic and extrinsic stacking faults are noticed. Out of all dislocation densities, Shockley partial dislocation densities has recorded a maximum value.

Enveloped viruses, in general, have several transmembrane proteins and glycoproteins, which assist the virus in entry and attachment onto the host cells. These proteins also play a significant role in determining the shape and size of the newly formed virus particles. The lipid membrane and the embedded proteins affect each other in non-trivial ways during the course of the viral life cycle. Unravelling the nature of the protein-protein and protein-lipid interactions, under various environmental and physiological conditions, could therefore prove to be crucial in development of therapeutics. Here, we study the M protein of SARS-CoV-2 to understand the effect of temperature on the properties of the protein-membrane system. The membrane embedded dimeric M proteins were studied using atomistic and coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations at temperatures ranging between 10 and 50 ˚C. While temperature induced fluctuations should be monotonic, we observe a steady rise in the protein dynamics up to 40 ˚C, beyond which it surprisingly reverts back to the low temperature behaviour. Detailed investigation reveals disordering of the membrane lipids in the presence of the protein, which induces additional curvature around the transmembrane region. Coarse-grained simulations indicate temperature dependent aggregation of M protein dimers. Our study clearly indicates that the dynamics of membrane lipids and integral M protein of SARS-CoV-2 enables it to better associate and aggregate only at a certain temperature range (i.e., ~30 to 40 ˚C). This can have important implications in the protein aggregation and subsequent viral budding/fission processes.

Metallic nanowires show great potential for applications in miniaturization of electronic devices due to their extraordinary mechanical strength and electrical properties. Experimental investigations of these properties are difficult due to their size and complications in performing experiments at such length scales. Computational techniques based on classical molecular dynamics simulations (using LAMMPS) provide an effective mean to understand the mechanical deformation behaviour of such nanowires with considerable accuracy and predictability. In the present investigation, we have discussed the deformation behaviour of Au nanowires due to tensile loading using classical molecular dynamics simulations (LAMMPS). The effect of strain rate and temperature on the yield strength of the nanowire has been studied in detail. The deformation mechanisms have also been discussed.

The unravelling of (10, 10) and (18, 0) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is simulated using molecular dynamics simulations at different temperatures. Two different schemes are proposed to simulate the unravelling; completely restraining the last atom in the chain and only restraining it in the axial direction. The forces on the terminal atom in the unravelled chain in the axial and radial directions are reported till the separation of the atomic chain from the carbon nanotube structure. The force-displacement relation for a chain structure at different temperatures is calculated and is compared to the unravelling forces. The axial stresses in the body of the carbon nanotube are calculated and are compared to the failure stresses of that specific nanotube. Results show that the scheme used to unravel the nanotube and the temperature can only effect the duration needed before the separation of some or all of the atomic chain from the nanotube, but does not affect the unravelling forces. The separation of the atomic chain from the nanotube is mainly due to the impulsive excessive stresses in the chain due to the addition of a new atom and rarely due to the steady stresses in the chain. From the simulations, it is clear that the separation of the chain will eventually happen due to the closing structure occurring at the end of the nanotube that would not be possible in multiwalled nanotubes.
