Table 1 Summarizes the variation of mechanical properties of nanowires of different diameters and comparison with the indium thin film
From: Nanomechanical Characterization of Indium Nano/Microwires
Sample | Load (μN) | Max. depth (nm) | Hardness (GPa) (O–P method) | Reduced modulus (GPa) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Wire diameter = 500 nm | 50 | 40 | 1.62 ± 0.214 | 37 ± 4 |
Wire diameter = 2000 nm | 100 | 65 | 1.99 ± 0.039 | 40 ± 4 |
Untemplated continuous Indium thin film (100 nm) | 100 | 55 | 2.55 ± 0.094 | 55 ± 5 |
