Based on the results of molecular-dynamics simulation of tension of linear carbon atomic chains (CACs), the feature of failure of these objects, which consists in the necessity to realize correlated fluctuations of critical displacements of the neighbouring atoms, is established. A statistical criterion of fracture of the 1D chains is proposed, which, unlike conventional criteria, accounts for this feature. Presence of three different regions (in ‘strength— temperature$^{1/2}$’ coordinates), namely, linear and two non-linear (low- and high-temperature) ones, is established. As shown, such features of the temperature influence on CACs strength are caused by the behaviour of a temperature dependence of the atomic-displacements’ variance.
Key words: monatomic carbon chains, nanoclusters, ultimate strength, MD-simulation.
