Molecular dynamics simulations on the effect of energy deposition rate on the electrical explosion of metal nanowires
2019, Computational Materials ScienceCitation Excerpt :Electrical explosion of metal wires (EEW) are widely used in various technologies. Physical phenomena involved in the explosion may be more sophisticated with varying conditions, such as material type [1,2], ambient medium [3,4], energy deposited [5,6], and current rate [2]. Experiments in Refs. [7,8] show a typical process of aluminum wire explosion in vacuum: capacitor first stores a certain amount of electrical energy, when the circuit is closed, the following process is not a simple RLC circuit problem, but an interaction between electromagnetic fields and charges in metals which involves Joule heating, phase transition, ionization, radiation, and other physical processes.

2012, IntermetallicsCitation Excerpt :After a long interval of almost a century, this method was rediscovered and attracted again attention of many researches in 1950s. Karioris and Fish reported formation of metallic and oxide nanoparticles such as Ag, Au, Cu, A2O3, and SnO2 by EW [6]. PWD has been developed as a specialized concept to form nanoparticles, and characterized by conditions of suitable gas atmosphere and applied electric energy higher than vaporized energy of the wires.
Nano-sized particles formed by pulsed discharge of powders
2012, Materials LettersCitation Excerpt :The pulsed wire discharge method adopts the atmosphere condition not in vacuum but in higher pressure and lower voltage between electrodes against the limitation of electric breakdown as shown in the Paschen curves, in order to avoid electric breakdown between the electrodes, which cause insufficient evaporation of the wires. In addition to metallic particles which are formed by these methods in inert gas atmosphere [1–6], particles of oxide [1,2,7,8], nitride [9,10], and carbide [11] are possible to be synthesized in appropriate reactive gas atmosphere. In such ways, many kinds of wires have been used to form nano-sized particles so far.
Generation and characterization of nano tungsten oxide particles by wire explosion process
2011, Materials CharacterizationCitation Excerpt :Faraday generated nano silver, copper and aluminium by heating the metal wires by passing high current [12]. Karories et al., generated noble metal powder of micron size, by wire explosion process [13]. Recently Jiang et al [14] have demonstrated that it is possible to produce nano particles by wire explosion process and have demonstrated it to be a cost effective process.
