Coalescence kinetics and microstructure evolution of Cu nanoparticles sintering on substrates: a molecular dynamics study

Nano copper sintering technology has great potential to be widely applied in the wide-bandgap semiconductor packaging. In order to investigate the coalescence kinetics of copper nano particles for this application, a molecular dynamic (MD) simulation was carried out at low temperature on a special model containing two substrate and multiple...

Sintering mechanism of Ag nanoparticle-nanoflake: a molecular dynamics simulation

This paper studied the behaviors of sintering between Ag nanoparticle (NP) and nanoflake (NF) in the same size by molecular dynamics simulation. Before the sintering simulation, the melting simulation of NF was carried out to calculate the melting points of NFs and investigate the thermostability of NF. The Lindemann index and potential...
