摘要
Mechanical properties of individual InAs nanowires (NWs) synthesized by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) methods are studied by in-situ tensile tests in a scanning electron microscope and their fracture strength and Young's modulus are obtained. The two types of NWs both exhibit brittle fracture with a maximum elastic strain up to similar to 10%. Their fracture strength distributes in a similar range of similar to 2-5GPa with a general trend of increasing with NW volume decrease, which is well described by Weibull statistic with a smaller Weibull modulus and a higher characteristic strength for MOCVD NWs. Young's modulus is determined to be 16-78GPa with an average value of 45 GPa and no dependence on NW diameter for MOCVD NWs and 34-79GPa with an average value of 58GPa for MBE NWs.
