Size-independent Young’s modulus of inverted conical GaAs nanowire resonators
نویسندگان
چکیده
We explore mechanical properties of top down fabricated, singly clamped inverted conical GaAs nanowires. Combining nanowire lengths of 2–9 lm with foot diameters of 36–935 nm yields fundamental flexural eigenmodes spanning two orders of magnitude from 200 kHz to 42 MHz. We extract a size-independent value of Young’s modulus of (456 3) GPa. With foot diameters down to a few tens of nanometers, the investigated nanowires are promising candidates for ultra-flexible and ultra-sensitive nanomechanical devices. VC 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was performed on an fcc solid platinum nanowire in this study. Infinite one-dimensional nanowires of circular and rectilinear cross sectional shapes were subjected to uniaxial tensile strain, and simulated at temperatures of 50K and 300K. The constitutive stress-strain response of the nanowire was investigated, the changes in crystal structure during axial def...
