Atomistic simulations reveal that ceria nanorods, under uniaxial tension, can accommodate over 6% elastic deformation. Moreover, a reversible fluorite-to-rutile phase change occurs above 6% strain for a ceria nanorod that extends along [110]. We also observe that during unloading the stress increases with decreasing strain as the rutile reverts back to fluorite. Ceria nanorods may find possible application as vehicles for elastic energy storage.
原子模拟揭示，二氧化铈纳米棒在单向拉伸下可容纳超过 6%的弹性变形。此外，当二氧化铈纳米棒沿[110]方向延伸时，在超过 6%的应变量下会发生可逆的萤石相向金红石相的转变。我们还观察到，在卸载过程中，随着金红石相回复到萤石相，应力随应变的减小而增加。二氧化铈纳米棒可能作为弹性储能的载体得到应用。
