 abstract = {Using all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we have studied the
mechanical properties of ZnS/CdS core/shell nanowires. Our results show
that the coating of a few-atomic-layer CdS shell on the ZnS nanowire
leads to a significant change in the stiffness of the core/shell
nanowires compared to the stiffness of pure ZnS nanowires. The binding
energy between the core and shell region decreases due to the lattice
mismatch at the core-shell interface. This reduction in binding energy
plays an important role in determining the stiffness of a core/shell
nanowire. We have also investigated the effects of the shell on the
thermal conductivity and melting behavior of the nanowires.},
