Our primary focus is to use AFM-based techniques, nanoindentation and in-situ SEM-based tensile testing to study the mechanical properties of 1D nanostructures. The experimental results together with the numerical simulation results are analyzed to obtain reliable mechanical properties of 1D nanostructures.
