In this work, we first present a new parameterization of the Stillinger-Weber potential for single-layered black phosphorus. In doing so, we reveal the importance of a cross-pucker interaction term in capturing its unique mechanical properties, such as a negative Poisson's ratio. In particular, we show that the cross-pucker interaction enables the pucker to act as a re-entrant hinge, which expands in the lateral direction when it is stretched in the longitudinal direction. As a consequence, single-layered black phosphorus has a negative Poisson's ratio in the direction perpendicular to the atomic plane. As an additional demonstration of the impact of the cross-pucker interaction, we show that it is also the key factor that enables capturing the edge stress-induced bending of single-layered black phosphorus that has been reported in ab initio calculations.}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{MortazaviPereiraJiangetal., author = {Mortazavi, Bohayra and Pereira, Luiz Felipe C. and Jiang, Jin-Wu and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Modelling heat conduction in polycrystalline hexagonal boron-nitride films}, series = {Scientific Reports}, journal = {Scientific Reports}, doi = {10.1038/srep13228}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170425-31534}, abstract = {We conducted extensive molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the thermal conductivity of polycrystalline hexagonal boron-nitride (h-BN) films.

Using the EMD results, we constructed finite element models of polycrystalline h-BN sheets to probe the thermal conductivity of samples with larger grain sizes. Our multiscale investigations not only provide a general viewpoint regarding the heat conduction in h-BN films but also propose that polycrystalline h-BN sheets present high thermal conductivity comparable to monocrystalline sheets.}, subject = {W{\"a}rmeleitf{\"a}higkeit}, language = {en} } @article{ArashRabczukJiang, author = {Arash, Behrouz and Rabczuk, Timon and Jiang, Jin-Wu}, title = {Nanoresonators and their applications: a state of the art review}, series = {Applied Physics Reviews}, journal = {Applied Physics Reviews}, abstract = {Nanoresonators and their applications: a state of the art review}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{ZhaoJiangWangetal., author = {Zhao, Jiyun and Jiang, Jin-Wu and Wang, L. and Guo, Wanlin and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Coarse-grained potentials of single-walled carbon nanotubes}, series = {Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids}, journal = {Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids}, abstract = {Coarse-grained potentials of single-walled carbon nanotubes}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{ZhaoJiangJiaetal., author = {Zhao, Jun-Hua and Jiang, Jin-Wu and Jia, Yue and Guo, Wanlin and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {A theoretical analysis of cohesive energy between carbon nanotubes, graphene and substrates}, series = {Carbon}, journal = {Carbon}, doi = {10.1016/j.carbon.2013.01.041}, pages = {108 -- 119}, abstract = {Explicit solutions for the cohesive energy between carbon nanotubes, graphene and substrates are obtained through continuum modeling of the van der Waals interaction between them.
