We conducted experimental pull-out tests of CNTs embedded in Pd or Au and found maximum forces in the range 10–102 nN. These values are in good agreement with forces obtained from molecular dynamics simulations taking into account surface functional groups (SFGs) covalently linked to the CNT material. The dominant failure mode in experiment is a CNT rupture, which can be explained with the presence of SFGs. To qualify the existence of SFGs on our used CNT material, we pursue investigations by means of fluorescence labeling of surface species in combination with Raman imaging. We also report of a tensile test system to perform pull-out tests inside a transmission electron microscope to obtain in situ images of CNT-metal interfaces under mechanical loads at the atomic scale.}, month = {Apr}, date = {2015-04-19}, organization = {2015 16th International Conference on Thermal, Mechanical and Multi-Physics Simulation and Experiments in Microelectronics and Microsystems (EuroSimE), Budapest (Hungary), 19 Apr 2015 - 22 Apr 2015}, cin = {PGI-5}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)PGI-5-20110106}, pnm = {143 - Controlling Configuration-Based Phenomena (POF3-143)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-143}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)26}, doi = {10.1109/EuroSimE.2015.7103119}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/200837}, }
