    Nanocrack Detection in Vibrating Nanowires

    Crystalline boron (B) nanowires (NWs) have been synthesized by the CVD method with preformed metal catalyst particles. We have experimentally investigated their dynamical resonance (i) and mechanical strength ...

    Modulus, Fracture Strength, and Brittle vs. Plastic Response of the Outer Shell of Arc-grown Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes

    The fracture strengths and elastic moduli of arc-grown multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were measured by tensile loading inside of a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Eighteen tensile tests were perfor...
