Microstructure-Hardened Silver Nanowires
Abstract
To exploit the novel size-dependent mechanical properties of nanowires, it is necessary for one to develop strategies to control the strength and toughness of these materials. Here, we report on the mechanical properties of silver nanowires with a unique fivefold twin structure using a lateral force atomic force microscopy (AFM) method in which wires are held in a double-clamped beam configuration. Force-displacement curves exhibit super elastic behavior followed by unexpected brittle failure without significant plastic deformation. Thermal annealing resulted in a gradual transition to weaker, more ductile materials associated with the elimination of the twinned boundary structure. These results point to the critical roles of microstructure and confinement in engineering the mechanical properties of nanoscale materials.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
