Spontaneous metal whisker growth phenomenon has been studied for∼ 70 years, but still
resists interpretations, which has haunted the electronics-rich systems from the birth of the …

Whiskers are nanoscale, high-strength fibrous crystals with a wide range of potential
applications in dentistry owing to their unique mechanical, thermal, electrical, and biological …

High quality Al and CuO nanowries are fabricated by simply heating the Al and Cu samples
in air. Although the experimental operations and the stress-induced migration processes are …

A bonding technology is introduced by using surface polished porous Ag in die-attachment
structure. Bonding strength did not change much as the chip size varied from 3× 3 mm 2 to …

Pure metal nanowires (NWs) are one-dimensional nanomaterials with distinctive properties
for various applications. Nevertheless, mass-growth forests have not been developed …

Abstract Large-scale one-dimensional (1-D) and dendritic ZnO nanowires were synthesized
on Si substrates using a catalyst-free thermal oxidation technique. By adjusting the stress of …

Solution sensors are required to detect analytes in liquids with high sensitivity and response
speed for environmental and health monitoring. In this study, we introduce the concept of a …

Nanotwinned alloys are of interest due to their high strength and ductility, but twin
boundaries may not be stable under shear. Computational studies indicate that high …

A well-aligned Cu2O nanowire array was fabricated by the stress-induced method. A new
stress-redistribution phenomenon related to the cooling procedure was observed and a …

CuO nanowires were synthesized by in situ thermal oxidation of Cu2O for the first time in the
temperature range of 300–750° C in air. In this process, the effects of annealing temperature …
