Buckling characterizations of an individual multi-walled carbon nanotube: Insights from quantitative in situ transmission electron microscope nanoindentation and molecular dynamics

Ping-Chi Tsai, Yeau-Ren Jeng, and Yu-Xian Huang et al.

Nanomechanics and real-time buckling deformation of an individual multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) were investigated through in situ nanoindentation within a transmission electron microscope (TEM). These in situ observations reveal a significant shell-to-Euler phase transformation in the buckl ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 103, 053119 (2013)] published Fri Aug 02, 2013.
