the output of a piezoelectric nanogenerator based on zno nanowire is largely affected by the shape of nanowire. in order to obtain mechanically stable nanogenerator with high performance, the investigation of mechanical and electrical characteristics related to the nanowires and materials used in nanogenerators are of great interest and significance. this paper presents the various behavior of ...

The mechanical properties including elastic stiffness constants as well as bulk modulus of Palladium (Pd) nanowire were calculated in the constant temperature and pressure (NPT), ensemble by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation technique. The quantum Sutton-Chen (Q-SC) many-body potential was used to calculate the cohesive energy as well as forces experience by every atoms. The temperature and pr...

This paper reports a simple method for the fabrication of ordered nanostructures composed of metallic nanowires. Molecular combing was used to stretch and align linear λ-DNA molecules into parallel or crossed patterns. Subsequent metallization of DNA through electroless palladium deposition yielded 1D parallel or 2D crossed metallic nanowire arrays. This method has potential use in building int...
