Sentence examples for modulus of silicon from inspiring English sources

This paper investigates the efficiency of frequency tuning in a silicon-based mechanical resonator through joule heating owing to the temperature coefficient of modulus of silicon.

This may imply that elastic modulus of silicon nanowire may be reduced as its diameter is decreased [26].

In our case, the elastic modulus of silicon nanowire with its diameter of ~80 nm is smaller than that of bulk silicon.

This implies that the elastic modulus of silicon nanowires is independent of their diameters if the diameter is larger than 100 nm.

Here, based on AFM indentation experiment, the elastic modulus of silicon nanowires has been extracted from classical elasticity theory (i.e. Hertz theory).

Nonetheless, there are a few drawbacks involved with using silicon stamps: due to the high elastic modulus of silicon, such stamps can in general not easily adapt to inhomogeneous surfaces or particles on the substrate.

Therefore, the elastic modulus of bulk silicon can be assumed for design of nanomechanical devices using silicon nanowires with their diameters of >~100 nm.

The Young's modulus of the silicon structure covered with graphene decreases as the thickness of the silicon nanofilm increases.

The Young's modulus of a silicon nitride (Si3N4) thin-film was evaluated using an ultrasonically actuated microcantilever in the present study.

Figure 5 Young's modulus of various silicon nanowires with their diameters in the range of ~100 to ~600 nm extracted from AFM indentation.

This is consistent with a recent study by Li and coworker [24], who showed that elastic modulus of amorphous silicon nanowire is independent of its diameter (in the range of ~80 to ~500 nm).
