Solvation-Assisted Young’s Modulus Control of Single-Crystal Fullerene C 𝟕 𝟎 Nanowhiskers

Figure 1

Time-sequence series of bright-field images of cantilever-beam-type loading, which causes bending of the C70 single-crystal nanowhisker with outer diameter of 410 nm. The left side of the nanowhisker is fixed onto a gold plate. The arrow indicates the loading direction of the cantilever tip for atomic force microscopy. The fulcrum is indicated by the triangle. This bending test was performed in the vacuum.
