Abstract :
The dynamic deformation upon stretching of Ni nanowires as those formed in mechanically controllable break junctions is studied. In order to compare with experiments, we also compute the transport properties in the last stages before failure using the first-principles implementation of Landauer´s formalism included in our transport package ALACANT.
