Structural properties of silicene nanoribbons (SiNRs) of varying width have been investigated under 5% and 10% uniaxial strain via classical Molecular‐Dynamics simulations at 1 and 300 K temperatures by the aid of atomistic many‐body potential energy functions (PEFs). It has been found that under strain, SiNRs show such material properties: they are very ductile, with considerable toughness and a very long plastic range before fragmentation.Behavior of silicene nanoribbon under uniaxial strain: 2D structure changes to 1D gradually. The figure shows the mid‐steps (steps #3–#5) of an eight‐step stain application.
