MECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF METALLIC NANOWIRES BY USING A CUSTOMIZED ATOMIC MICROSCOPE

A new experimental method to characterize the mechanical properties of metallic nanowires is introduced. An accurate and fast mechanical characterization of nanowires requires simultaneous imaging and testing of nanowires. However, there exists no practical experimental procedure in the literature...
