Plastic deformation of single nanometer-sized crystals.
We report in situ electron microscopy observations of the plastic deformation of individual nanometer-sized Au, Pt, W, and Mo crystals. Specifically designed graphitic cages that contract under electron irradiation are used as nanoscopic deformation cells. The correlation with atomistic simulations shows that the observed slow plastic deformation is due to dislocation activity. Our results also...
متن کاملConducting carbon wires in ordered, nanometer-sized channels.
The encapsulation of graphite-type carbon wires in the regular, 3-nanometer-wide hexagonal channels of the mesoporous host MCM-41 is reported. Acrylonitrile monomers are introduced through vapor or solution transfer and polymerized in the channels with external radical initiators. Pyrolysis of the intrachannel polyacrylonitrile results in filaments whose microwave conductivity is about 10 times...
متن کاملNanometer-Sized Electrochemical Sensors
Nanometer-sized glass-sealed metal ultramicroelectrodes (UMEs) have been prepared using a laser-based micropipet puller. The tip was exposed to solution either by etching away a small portion of glass insulator or by micropolishing. The characterization of the UMEs was carried out by a combination of steady-state voltammetry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and scanning electrochemical micr...
متن کاملElasticity of nanometer-sized objects
We initiate the development of a theory of the elasticity of nanoscale objects based upon new physical concepts which remain properly defined on the nanoscale. This theory provides a powerful way of understanding nanoscale elasticity in terms of local group contributions and gives insight into the breakdown of standard continuum relations. We also give two applications. In the first, we show ho...
متن کاملDiffusion of domains on nanometer sized vesicle
We have investigated the diffusion coefficient of nano-meter-sized domains on a vesicle composed of saturated phospholipids, unsaturated phospholipids and cholesterols by means of neutron spin echo spectroscopy. The obtained diffusion coefficient was examined from a viewpoint of the hydrodynamic model of Brownian objects in a fluid membrane.
