The FIB trimming processes, measurement platform and trimmed BST NWs.
(a) The semi-schematic diagram of the suspended NW on the measurement platform and the trimming processes of FIB. The upper left shows the real image of NW taken by SEM. The gold pads are the electrical leading wires for experimental measurements and the dash line indicating the cutting edge of the trimmed BST NW. (b) The SEM image of the suspended BST NW and the electrodes. (c–e) The SEM images of pristine and trimmed BST NW with sizes of 750, 490 and 285 nm, respectively. The scale bars in the figures are 10 μm.
