摘要
We observed thermally induced nanomechanical deflection of a hybrid inorganic nanowire (NW) synthesized by pulsed-laser deposition, the structure of which is a carbon nanotube template sandwiched by aluminum oxide and tungsten oxide thin layers. The hybrid NW was gradually bent at a specimen temperature ranging from room temperature to 800 degrees C, due to the different coefficients of thermal expansion of the coated layers. This mechanical deflection exhibited repeatability. (c) 2005 American Institute of Physics.
