“…The NEM switch components can be produced from a wide range of nanostructures (e.g., thin films [ 5 – 7 ], nanobundles [ 8 ], nanowires [ 9 – 14 ], nanotubes [ 15 – 16 ]) fabricated from different materials (e.g., metals [ 17 – 19 ], semiconductors [ 9 – 10 20 – 23 ], carbon allotropes, including graphene [ 24 – 31 ] and carbon nanotubes [ 12 , 15 – 16 32 – 37 ]). With a proper choice of material and architecture, NEM switches can withstand relatively high radiation levels and extreme temperatures [ 19 , 25 , 38 – 39 ], highlighting their potential for applications in harsh environments.…”
