Piezoelectric nanowires are promising building blocks in nanoelectronic, sensing, actuation
and nanogenerator systems. In spite of great progress in synthesis methods, quantitative …

The primary challenge to exploit the nanowire as a truly one‐dimensional building block in
nanoscale devices is the clear incorporation of scale effects into the operational …

Experiments on micro-and nano-mechanical systems (M/NEMS) have shown that their
behavior under bending loads departs in many cases from the classical predictions using …

Nanofibres are found in a broad variety of hierarchical biological systems as fundamental
structural units, and nanofibrillar components are playing an increasing role in the …

We characterized the elastic properties of GaN nanowires grown along different
crystallographic orientations. In situ transmission electron microscopy tensile tests were …

This paper reports direct tensile tests on n-type (Si-doped) gallium nitride single crystal
nanowires1 that were grown by nitrogen plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy and …

We measure the elastic modulus of a single horizontal ZnO nanorod [NR] grown by a low-
temperature hydrothermal chemical process on silicon substrates by performing room …

This paper experimentally investigates the size-dependent effective Young's modulus E eff
of aluminum (Al) clamped-clamped microbeams using the electrostatic pull-in instability …

The elastic properties of metallic and semiconducting nanowires were analyzed by different
techniques employing static and dynamic loads. The reliability of the methods is verified by …

The three-point bending Young's modulus (E) of nanowires was studied by a finite element
method. It was found that the constraint conditions at the nanowire ends, the ratio of the …
