In this thesis we have studied in detail the mechanical properties of gold nanowires and nanoporous gold with and without an amorphous silicon coating (a-Si). This work was done using molecular dynamics simulation. We first studied the cyclic deformation of gold nanowires (Au-NW) and gold-silicon core-shell nanowires (AuSi-NW). These simulations showed that the Au-NW is deformed during cyclic loading by two main mechanisms: extensive twinning and the slip of a single atomic plane. Cycling gradually alters the morphology of the structure by increasing the number and size of defects created on the surface. The cyclic deformation of the AuSi-NW shows that the a-Si coating delocalizes the plasticity along the structure and allows to better pres...
