Characteristics of Progressive Damage of ZnO Nanowires during Contact Sliding under Relatively Low Loads

ZnO nanowires have received much interest owing to their particular structural and piezoelectric properties. For widespread application of ZnO nanowires in various nanotechnologies, the mechanical reliability of the nanowires should be assessed. In this paper, the damage characteristics of verticall...
