The adhesive behavior of one-dimensional (1D) materials, such as nanotubes and
nanowires, plays a decisive role in the effective fabrication, functionality, and reliability of …

The micro-and nanoscale characterization and mapping of surface properties and surface
behaviour is critical to both physical and biological science. Mechanical contact probes are …

Young's modulus of Fe-catalyzed silicon carbide (SiC) nanowires was measured in the
temperature range of 300–575 K by the use of a laser Doppler vibrometer. The nanowires …

Abstract The acceptor (N)-isovalent (S, Se, Te) elements that separately co-dope ZnO is a
novel doping technology. However, the effects of triaxial strain on the photocatalytic …

In this study, a simple and low-cost hydrothermal technique was used to synthesize pristine
and different vanadium (V)-doped ZnO nanoflowers, and the ratios of V/Zn were 0.5, 1, 1.5 …

TaC nanowires are expected to be an ideal reinforcing material in ultra-high-temperature
ceramics. However, their growth mechanisms and mechanical properties remain unclear …

Nanoplastic particles (NPs) are ubiquitously present in the environment and their potentially
harmful effects on ecological systems remain largely unknown. Owing to their minute spatial …

A new technique based on optical microscope nanomanipulation is developed to permit
optical observation of the shearing process between cantilevered nanowires (NWs). Real …

The frictional behavior of one-dimensional (1D) materials, including nanotubes, nanowires,
and nanofibers, significantly influences the efficient fabrication, functionality, and reliability of …

Parylene-coated carbon fiber (CF) arrays with tunable inclination angles and heights were
fabricated using oxygen plasma etching of composite wafers with embedded parallel CFs …
