What is it about?

study the structural stability of hexagonal MnAs nanowires. The calculated total energies are combined with a phenomenological model to describe the energy of broken bonds at surfaces and edges.

Why is it important?

The important influence of edges on the stability of the hex-agonal MnAs nanowires is confirmed in all parts of our theoretical investigation

Perspectives

he possibility of a structural deformation from hexagonal geometry was considered and found to be unfavorable.
