In this paper, elastic properties such as Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of various transition metal nanofilms are calculated for the {100} and {110} surfaces by using molecular dynamics simulation. A new method using $3^{rd}$ order elastic constants and least square method is presented for the calculation of elastic constants. We also introduce analytical method of calculating elastic constants for EAM potential and it's results as the reference value to be compared with the simulation results.

We investigate the optical and electrical properties of silver nanofilms deposited on transparent substrates such as quartz, sapphire, and slide glass treated with (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane (MPTMS). The effect of MPTMS treatment on physical properties is studied through scanning electron microscope (SEM) images, UV-visible transmission, and current-voltage measurements. The SEM images show morphology change of the silver nanofilm, and the UV-visible transmission spectra reveal that the localized surface-plasmon resonance effect is reduced due to the morphology change. These results imply that the uniformity of silver nanofilm is improved by MPTMS treatment for various transparent substrates, resulting in a 100-fold decrease in the electrical resistance of the silver nanofilm.
