The breaking position distribution of the single-crystal copper nanowire. (a) Models of the breaking position distribution (I), (II), and (III) of the [100] nanowire at three representative strain rates, and schematic illustration of the corresponding deformation mechanism of the [100] copper nanowire, (b) the breaking position distributions of the [100] nanowires at all the simulated strain rates from 0.01 to 7.69% ps^-1, (c) The breaking position distributions of the [110] nanowires at all the simulated strain rates from 0.01 to 6.16% ps^-1, (d) The breaking position distributions of the [111] nanowires at all the simulated strain rates from 0.01 to 6.16% ps^-1.
