As nanotechnology has developed over the last two decades, some nanostructures, such as
nanotubes, nanowires, and nanoparticles, have become very popular. However, recent …

Helical metallic micro/nanostructures as functional components have considerable potential
for future miniaturized devices, based on their unique mechanical and electrical properties …

In this paper, the effect of ion irradiation on nanoscale hardness of ZnO microcones is
reported. The hardness of ZnO cones determined by nanoindentation using atomic force …

This study reports a post-deposition technique of engineering the mechanical properties of
cantilever-like silicon nanorods by using swift heavy ion irradiation. Slanted silicon nanorods …

Eine physikalische Deposition unter den Bedingungen eines schräg einfallenden
Partikelflusses und begrenzter Adatom‐Diffusion führt zu Schichten mit einer säulenartigen …

In this study, the compressive strength of individual Si nanosprings grown by glancing angle
deposition was determined by atomic force microscope based force-distance spectroscopy …

Nanostructured materials may be defined as those materials whose structural elements—
clusters, crystallites or molecules—have dimensions in 1 to 100 nm range. Their importance …
