Abstract:

Nanotechnology is one of the pillars of human life in the future. This technology is growing fast and many scientists work in this field. The behavior of materials in nano size varies with that in macro dimension. Therefore scientists have presented various theories for examining the behavior of materials in nano-scale. Accordingly, mechanical behavior of nano-plates, nanotubes nano-beams and nano-rodes are being investigated by Non-classical elasticity theories. This review includes the last researches on bending, buckling, and vibration of nano-plates, nano-beams, nanorods, and nanotubes which were investigated by non-local elasticity theory and nonlocal strain gradient theory. Great scholars have written valuable reviews in the field of nanomechanics. Therefore, given a large number of researches and the prevention of repetition, the articles in the past year are reviewed.

Mechanics of Silicon Nanowires: Size-Dependent Elasticity From First Principles

We review our recent work on the mechanics of silicon nanowires based on first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We focus especially on the size dependence of the Young’s modulus, but also comment on the size dependence of the residual stress and the equilibrium length of the hydrogen-passivated Si nanowires. We compare these results to prior results from classical molecu...

On the size-dependent elasticity of penta-twinned silver nanowires

Penta-twinned metallic NWs have recently received much attention due to their excellent mechanical properties. However, their elasticity size effect remains not well understood due to the large discrepancy in the reported experimental and simulation results. This paper reports an experimental effort to address the discrepancy about the size-dependent Young’s modulus of penta-twinned Ag NWs. Two...

Size-dependent melting of self-assembled indium nanostructures.

We have measured the melting temperature of nanoscale indium islands on a WSe(2) substrate using perturbed angular correlations combined with scanning tunneling microscopy. The indium islands are self-assembled nanostructures whose diameter can vary between about 5 and 100 nm, depending on deposition conditions. The melting point decreases due to surface energies as the islands get smaller. Thi...

Size-dependent melting point depression of nanostructures: Nanocalorimetric measurements

The melting behavior of 0.1–10-nm-thick discontinuous indium films formed by evaporation on amorphous silicon nitride is investigated by an ultrasensitive thin-film scanning calorimetry technique. The films consist of ensembles of nanostructures for which the size dependence of the melting temperature and latent heat of fusion are determined. The relationship between the nanostructure radius an...

Size- and shape-dependent phase transformations in wurtzite ZnS nanostructures.

This paper describes the equilibrium morphologies of zinc sulfide nanoparticles in the wurtzite phase as a function of size, determined using ab initio Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations and a shape-dependent thermodynamic model predicting the Gibbs free energy of a nanoparticle. We investigate the relative stabilities of a variety of nanoparticle shapes based on the wurtzite structure...

Size-dependent Fano Interaction in the Laser-etched Silicon Nanostructures

Photo-excitation and size-dependent Raman scattering studies on the silicon (Si) nanostructures (NSs) prepared by laser-induced etching are presented here. Asymmetric and red-shifted Raman line-shapes are observed due to photo-excited Fano interaction in the quantum confined nanoparticles. The Fano interaction is observed between photo-excited electronic transitions and discrete phonons in Si N...
