Figure 2

The super-plastic deformation of the Mo nanowires can be approached by optimum design.

(a–e) A continuous series of bright-field TEM images show the in situ tensile process of a single crystal Mo nanowire that is 135 nm in diameter with an aspect ratio of ~1:1. The tensile strain is nearly along the [100] direction. (f) The diameter vs. elongation plot. Purple stars are from our experiments, while orange diamonds are from ref. 27. (g) The sample’s aspect ratio (ranging from ~1:1 to ~14:1) effects on the elongation capabilities of the nanowires. Blue square, red dot and green triangle indicate a nanowire diameter of ~140 nm, ~240 nm and ~300 nm, respectively.
