Abstract

The mechanical properties of ZnO microwires have been studied using three different methods: quasi-static flexural measurements using atomic force microscopy, static measurements using a nano indenter, and dynamic flexural measurements using optical interferometry. ZnO microwires were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition method, and the crystal structure and quality were examined using x-ray diffraction and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The Young's moduli were estimated using the measurement results from the three methods, and they showed consistent values in the range 67.5-79.4 GPa for microwires with diameters of 1.8 μm ± 100 nm
