In this study, we used the molecular statics, molecular dynamics, and density function theory to investigate structural, electronic, and mechanical properties of ultra-thin silica nanowires. There are two parts in this study. In the first part, we used basin-hopping method to get different diameters of silica nanowires, nemed 2MR, 2MR-2O, 3MR-3O, 4MR-4O, 5MR-5O, 4MR-3f, 4MR-4f, and 4MR-5f. The various silica nanowires were optimized by density function theory to obtain the projected density of states, Mulliken charge, and electronic density difference, and we also compared this results to £\-quartz. In the second part, the molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate deformation behavior of silica nanowires under axial tensile loading at 10K. The Young¡¦s modulus increases when the diameter decreases. We also
used angular correlation function to study the mechanical properties and variation of structures.
