Sensing Capabilities of Single Nanowires Studied with Correlative In Situ Light and Electron Microscopy.

ABSTRACT: Modern devices based on modular designs require versatile and universal sensor components which provide an efficient, sensitive, and compact measurement unit. To improve the space capacity of devices, miniaturized building elements are needed, which implies a turning away from conventional microcantilevers toward nanoscale cantilevers. Nanowires can be seen as high-quality resonators and offer the opportunity to create sensing devices on small scales. To use such a one-dimensional nanostructure as a resonant cantilever, a precise characterization based on the fundamental properties is needed. We present a correlative electron and light microscopy approach to characterize the pressure and environment sensing capabilities of single nanowires by analyzing their resonance behavior in situ</
