Abstract

Thermo elastic properties of nanomaterials has been very interesting among the researchers during the last decade, still it is a great challenge to predict the exact thermoelastic behaviour of nanomaterials. In the present work we have studied the volume thermal expansion coefficient of low dimensional solid and the variation of Young’s modulus with change in temperature for different shapes of nanomaterials by considering the effect of packing factor. We have computed the volume thermal expansion coefficient of Silver (Ag), Aluminum (Al), Copper (Cu), and Lead (Pb) with their varying size. The effect of temperature on Young’s modulus of Silver (Ag), Gold (Au), Nickel (Ni), Copper (Cu) and Silicon (Si) has also been studied. The computed results are compared with available experimental data which confirms that the volume thermal expansion coefficient increases with reduction in size of the nanomaterials. It has been also observed that the Young’s modulus has linear decrement with increase in temperature which indicates that Young’s modulus of nanomaterials has negative temperature coefficient.
