Abstract

Nanowires are expected to play an important role in future electronic, optical devices and nanoelectromechanical devices. Measuring the electrical and mechanical properties of nanowires is however a difficult task due to their small dimensions. Here we report the use of an in situ microscopy technique, which combines transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with scanning probe microscopy (SPM), to investigate the electrical and mechanical properties of metallic and semiconductor nanowires.
