No small measure: Probing the mechanics of gold contacts at the nanoscale
Journal Reference: Jiaqi Zhang, Masahiko Tomitori, Toyoko Arai, Yoshifumi Oshima. Surface Effect on Young’s Modulus of Sub-Two-Nanometer Gold [111] Nanocontacts. Physical Review Letters, 2022; 128 (14) DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.128.146101 For instance, the nanomaterial’s surface represents one such knowledge gap. This is because the influence of surface quantum effects becomes much more apparent when the surface-to-volume ratio … Read more
