How are Thermal and Mechanical Properties Measured at the Nanoscale?
Measuring these properties at the nanoscale requires specialized techniques: - Thermal Conductivity: Techniques such as the 3ω method and Raman spectroscopy are used to measure thermal conductivity in nanomaterials. - Mechanical Properties: Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and nanoindentation are commonly used to assess mechanical properties like hardness and elasticity.
