Compression of nanowires using a flat indenter: Elasticity measurement in nanoscale

Zhao Wang, W. M. Mook, Ch. Niederberger +3

A new experimental approach for the characterization of the lateral elastic modulus of individual nanowires is demonstrated by implementing a micro/nano scale diametrical compressi…

Mass Density of Individual Cobalt Nanowires

L. Philippe, B. Cousin, Zhao Wang +2

The mass density of nanowires is determined using in-situ resonance frequency experiments combined with quasi-static nanotensile tests. Our results reveal a mass density of 7.36 g/…

Deflection of suspended graphene by a transverse electric field

Zhao Wang, Laetitia Philippe, Jamil Elias

We investigate the electromechanical response of doubly clamped graphene nanoribbons to a transverse gate voltage. An analytical model is developed to predict the field-induced def…

Deformation of doubly-clamped single-walled carbon nanotubes in an electrostatic field

Zhao Wang, Laetitia Philippe

In this letter, we demonstrate a strong dependence of the electrostatic deformation of doubly-clamped single-walled carbon nanotubes on both the field strength and the tube length,…
