Zig-zag surface step migration and structure modulation in metallic nanowires

Nanoscale metals frequently exhibit novel mechanical properties or physiochemical performances, due to the growing influence of surfaces. Here, we uncover a unique surface-mediated deformation behavior of Au nanowires by conducting in situ transmission electron microscope tensile testing. A zig-zag...
