3. Matrix has greater Poisson ratio

    Return to previous page.
1. Equal Poisson ratio
2. Poisson ratio of nanoparticle greater than matrix
3. vLm/vLp vs. Z0m/Z0p; version of this page
4. Actual material combinations
For all the examples on this page, the matrix has a greater Poisson ratio than the nanoparticle. That means that
vTp / vLp > vTm / vLm.

Notice in the left figure that ξ stays relatively close to the FSM value. The Poisson ratios correspond roughly to a gold nanoparticle in aqueous solution.
