Surface effects on elastic properties of silver nanowires: Contact atomic-force microscopy
Abstract
Silver nanowires with different diameters were synthesized by a hydrothermal chemical method. The elastic properties of the nanowires with outer diameters ranging from 20 to $140\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm}$ were measured using contact atomic force microscopy. The apparent Young modulus of the nanowires is found to decrease with the increase of the diameter. When the diameter of the silver nanowires is larger than $100\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm}$, the Young modulus approaches a constant value. The size dependence of the apparent Young modulus of the silver nanowires is attributed to the surface effect, which includes the effects of the surface stress, the oxidation layer, and the surface roughness. Thus, a theoretical analysis is presented to explain the size dependence. This analysis is different from the previous models in that both the surface stress and the surface moduli are included in it. We also show that the apparent surface modulus and the surface stress of the silver nanowires can be experimentally determined.

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.
