Nanomechanics emerged as chemists and physicists began fabricating nanoscale objects.
However, there are some materials that have neither been fabricated nor mechanical …

In this study, pure rhodium was fabricated and mechanically investigated at the nanoscale
for the first time. The nanopillars approach was employed to study the effects of size on the …

Sub-micron scale nanocrystalline rhodium pillars were fabricated by electron beam
lithography and electroplating techniques. The fabricated specimens included solid core …

Fabrication techniques, and mechanical behaviours of vertically aligned cylindrical
nanopillars of various metals, including tin, bismuth, palladium, indium, rhodium and cobalt …

Novel fabrication techniques were developed to manufacture polycrystalline palladium,
cobalt, and rhodium nanopillars with diameters of approximately 130nm. These …

This article reviews recent studies on the mechanical properties of cylindrical metallic
nanopillars subjected to uniaxial deformation. Remarkable strengths and very different …

Size-dependent mechanical properties have been revealed for nanowires, nanopillars and
nanoparticles. On the surfaces of these nanosized elements, discrete atomic-scale steps will …

Nanopillars Under Compression Page 1 Mechanical Behaviour of Single Crystal …

A novel stress-strain relation with two stages of linear elastic deformation is observed in
[001]-oriented tetragonal zirconia nanopillars subjected to tensile loading via molecular …

Even inherently brittle hollow silicon nanoparticles (NPs) can withstand larger strain to
failure than solid NPs. However, the influence of wall thickness on the mechanical behavior …
