      Vlassov, Sergei; Mets, Magnus; Polyakov, Boris; Bian, Jianjun; Dorogin, Leonid; Zadin, Vahur (Beilstein-Institut Zur Forderung der Chemischen Wissenschaften, 2019)
      In this study, pentagonal Ag and Au nanowires (NWs) were bent in cantilever beam configuration inside a scanning electron microscope. We demonstrated an unusual, abrupt elastic-to-plastic transition, observed as a sudden ...
    • The effect of heat treatment on the morphology and mobility of Au nanoparticles 

      Oras, Sven; Vlassov, Sergei; Vigonski, Simon; Polyakov, Boris; Antsov, Mikk; Zadin, Vahur; Lõhmus, Rünno; Mougin, Karine (Beilstein-Institut Zur Forderung der Chemischen Wissenschaften, 2020)
      In the present paper, we investigate the effect of heat treatment on the geometry and mobility of Au nanoparticles (NPs) on a Si substrate. Chemically synthesized Au NPs of diameter ranging from 5 to 27 nm were annealed ...
