Part of the book series: NanoScience and Technology ((NANO))

Summary

The elastic mechanical properties of one-dimensional nanostructures are considered, with an emphasis on the use of contact-resonance atomic force microscopy methods to determine elastic moduli. Various methods used to determine elastic moduli of one-dimensional nanostructures are reviewed before detailed consideration of the experimental and analytical methods used in contact-resonance atomic force microscopy As direct applications of contact-resonance atomic force microscopy on one-dimensional nanostructures, two measurement examples are shown here, for ZnO and Te nanowires. The variations of the elastic moduli of ZnO and Te nanowires with nanowire diameter are presented and interpreted in terms of core–shell models of nanowire structure. Based on combined theoretical, atomistic simulation, and experimental results, the importance of accurate and precise methods for measuring the mechanical properties of nanostructures, and how those methods need to be adjusted for one-dimensional nanostructures, is emphasized.
