In-situ electromechanical testing of ZnO nanowires
6 Jul 2023In this application note, Bruker Nano presents experimental data on in-situ electromechanical testing of ZnO nanowires. One-dimensional structures such as nanowires and nanotubes are potential materials for future nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, piezoelectric devices, sensors, and actuators. Due to length scale effects and higher surface-to-volume ratios, nanostructures can exhibit superior mechanical and electrical, as well as other length scale-dependent properties. To utilize these fundamental advantages, it is essential to investigate and understand their unique characteristics as a function of the material parameters.
