Study of yielding mechanics in nanometer-sized Au contacts
Yielding properties of Au point contacts of nanometer-scale dimensions have been studied using a scanning tunneling microscope supplemented by a force sensor for measuring tip–sample forces. The contacts are made by indenting the tip typically 10 nm into the substrate, whereby an adhesion neck is formed. Three consecutive deformation phases of the neck can be identified during retraction of the...
متن کاملUnderstanding the structural transformation, stability of medium-sized neutral and charged silicon clusters
The structural and electronic properties for the global minimum structures of medium-sized neutral, anionic and cationic Sin(μ) (n = 20-30, μ = 0, -1 and +1) clusters have been studied using an unbiased CALYPSO structure searching method in conjunction with first-principles calculations. A large number of low-lying isomers are optimized at the B3PW91/6-311 + G* level of theory. Harmonic vibrati...
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 کاملClassical and quantum magnetisation reversal studied in single nanometer-sized particles and clusters using micro-SQUIDs
Recent progress in experiment on quantum tunnelling of the magnetic moment in mesoscopic systems will be reviewed. The emphasis will be made on measurements of individual nanoparticles. These nanomagnets allow one to test the border between classical and quantum behaviour. Using the micro-SQUID magnetometer, waiting time, switching "eld and telegraph noise measurements show unambiguously that t...
