Abstract
Nanomechanical characterization of vertical well-aligned single-crystal ZnO nanowires on ZnO:Ga/glass templates was performed by nanoindentation technique. The buckling loads were found to be 1465 and 215μN for the ZnO nanowires of 100 and 30nm diameters, respectively. Furthermore, the buckling energies for the ZnO nanowires of 100 and 30nm diameters were 3.62×10−10 and 3.69×10−11J, respectively. Based on the Euler buckling model, Young’s modulus of the individual ZnO nanowire has been derived from two possible modes in this work.
