Abstract

The isobaric molecular dynamics simulations and the embedded atom method were utilized to reproduce the structural transition from (001) to (111) in Au nanofilms observed in experiments at a critical film thickness. High temperature was not required in this transition. It was found that in suspended films the structural transition was generic to other metal nanofilms.
