Topological Control on the Structural Relaxation of Atomic Networks under Stress
Topological Control on the Structural Relaxation of Atomic Networks under Stress
Upon loading, atomic networks can feature delayed irreversible relaxation. However, the effect of composition and structure on relaxation remains poorly understood. Herein, relying on accelerated molecular dynamics simulations and topological constraint theory, we investigate the relationship between atomic topology and stress-induced structural relaxation, by taking the example of creep deformations …
