Abstract

The present workbrings to light the effect of divalent (viz. Mg) doping on the Young’s Modulus (YM) of ZnO nanowires (NWs),as a function of diameters considering surface stress effect. It is seen that theYM exhibits contrasting behavior for different doping concentrations of Mg. The variation in the YMis seen to be of semiconductive type, which then is seen to change to depict conductive type behavior on the immersion of Mg as a dopant. The doping along with surface stress play as deciding factors in determining the mechanical properties; especially the YM of the ZnO nanowires.
