Abstract
MBN Explorer can be utilized for simulations and investigation of the mechanical properties and thermal effects of a broad variety of the materials mentioned in the previous chapters. This includes analysis of elastic and plastic deformations (e.g. Young’s modulus, hardness etc.), dynamics of dislocations, surfaces and interfaces, nanoindentation, phase transitions, thermo-mechanical damage and many more. For most of these processes and phenomena the thermal dependence of various characteristics of materials is of significant importance and interest. For example, it can indicate the system phase transitions, alteration of the material elastic properties, characterise its thermal expansion, etc.

Notes
- 1.
For amorphous Ni-Ti, the dependence does not reveal a prominent maximum but fluctuates around the value of 0.04 \(\upmu \)N/nm, indicating that it is much easier to deform the amorphous sample as compared to the ideal crystalline one.
