(a) TEM image of tow-terminal nanowire device using piezo-driven nanocontacting, inset corresponding I-V curve, adapted from [30]. (b) Schematics of the microfabricated resistively heated loops used to grow and contact Si nanowires and corresponding sequence of TEM images showing a nanowire approaching and contacting, adapted from [31]. (c) Sequence of TEM images demonstrating the function of Ge nanowire-based NEMs device, inset: corresponding I-V curve showing sharp drop in current at jump-off the contact, adapted from [32]. (d) Sequence of TEM images of an Si nanowire subjected to bending stress demonstrating the formation of large number of defects, adapted from [33].
