Approaching the ideal elastic strain limit in silicon nanowires
Achieving high elasticity for silicon (Si) nanowires, one of the most important and versatile building blocks in nanoelectronics, would enable their application in flexible electronics and bio-nano interfaces. We show that vapor-liquid-solid-grown single-crystalline Si nanowires with diameters of ~100 nm can be repeatedly stretched above 10% elastic strain at room temperature, approaching the t...
متن کاملApproaching the ideal elastic limit of metallic glasses
The ideal elastic limit is the upper bound to the stress and elastic strain a material can withstand. This intrinsic property has been widely studied for crystalline metals, both theoretically and experimentally. For metallic glasses, however, the ideal elastic limit remains poorly characterized and understood. Here we show that the elastic strain limit and the corresponding strength of submicr...
متن کاملElastic Properties and Buckling of Silicon Nanowires
Silicon is the most important material for the electronics industry. Its unique electronic, optoelectronic, thermal, and mechanical properties have made Si an ideal choice for integrated circuits, memory devices, solar cells, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Considering onedimensional (1D) nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes, silicon nanowires, and ZnO nanowires/nanobelts are the three pr...
متن کاملCharge separation via strain in silicon nanowires.
Axial charge separation in small diameter, partially strained silicon nanowires is predicted from ab initio calculations with electrons and holes located in different ends of the wires. We show that this effect can be understood from the topologies of near-gap wave functions, and that it is enhanced by quantum confinement. The possibility of utilizing partial strain for charge separation at the...
متن کاملLow-Temperature In Situ Large-Strain Plasticity of Silicon Nanowires**
Elastic-plastic and fracture properties are key issues in characterizing materials’ mechanical behavior, and they have been extensively studied for over a century for bulk structured materials. Silicon is one of the most important and representative materials for these studies owing to its extremely important applications. Silicon nanowires (NWs) are one of the most important nanostructures use...
