The design, modeling, fabrication and characterization of triplate differential capacitive sensors employed in novel on-chip tensile and compression material testing systems are reported, where the capacitive sensors are integrated to measure the load on t ...
Mechanical properties of nanostructures could be remarkably different from their bulk counterparts owing to scale effects, which have attracted considerable research interest in recent years. However, nanomechanics studies are hindered by the difficulties ...
Two types of electrostatically actuated tensile stages for in situ electron microscopy mechanical testing of 1-D nanostructures were designed, microfabricated, and tested. Testing was carried out for mechanical characterization of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) ...

The mass density of nanowires is determined using in situ resonance frequency experiments combined with quasi-static nanotensile tests. Our results reveal an average mass density of 7.36 g/cm3, which is below the theoretical density of bulk cobalt. The res ...
