"This phenomenon is pronounced in nanowires. For instance, zinc oxide nanowires exhibited anelastic behaviour that is up to four orders of magnitude larger than the largest anelasticity observed in ...

Researchers have found that nanowires made of common semiconductor materials have a pronounced anelasticity - meaning that the wires, when bent, return slowly to their original shape rather than ...

Nanowires have unusually pronounced 'anelastic' properties Date: July 13, 2015 Source: North Carolina State University Summary: Researchers have found that nanoscale wires (nanowires) made of ...
