Mechanical Researches on Young's Modulus of SCS Nanostructures
Figure 1
(a) Resonant frequency data for a set of
38.5 nm-thick cantilevers (with varied length) are fitted into theoretical curve
based on resonant frequency expression. Young’s modulus of 68 GPa is obtained
from the fitted result. (b) The monotonous decrease in Young’s modulus value of
the ultrathin SCS cantilevers is obtained. The thickness of the cantilevers is
in the range of 300–12 nm. (Reprinted
