Modification of the Mechanical Properties of Core‐Shell Liquid Gallium Nanoparticles by Thermal Oxidation at Low Temperature (Part. Part. Syst. Charact. 10/2021)

In article number 2100141, Catalán-Gómez, Vázquez and co-workers perform the modulation of mechanical properties core-shell structure gallium nanoparticles by thermal oxidation processes. The study is carried out single-particle indentations atomic force microscopy over a wide range nanoparticle radius. It found that shell stiffness increases up to 50 times while Young's modulus does not change significantly.
