What is deformation?
Think about what happens to a rubber band when you pull it.
Explain what a dislocation is.
Consider how breaks in a line can change its smoothness.
What is the primary factor that influences deformation at the nanoscale?
Look for what makes nanoscale materials behave so differently.
True or False: Dislocations are necessary for deformation in nanomaterials.
Consider how small the structures are and how that might limit defects.
Discuss how the limited ability of nanowires to deform affects their use in technology. Please provide examples.
Think about where strength is critical in small electronic devices.
Propose a new nanomaterial that benefits from the unique properties of deformation at the nanoscale. Describe its applications.
