Buckling of Single-Crystal Silicon Nanolines under Indentation

Figure 8

Buckling of SiNLs and mode transition simulated by the finite element model. The contours show the distributions of normal stress in the 2-direction. (a)–(c) correspond to the points A, B, C on the load-displacement curve in Figure 7, respectively. The insets in (a) and (b) show analogous buckling modes in columns.
