In-situ tensile testing of nano-scale specimens in SEM and TEM
@article{Haque2002InsituTT, title={In-situ tensile testing of nano-scale specimens in SEM and TEM}, author={M. A. Haque and M. Saif}, journal={Experimental Mechanics}, year={2002}, volume={42}, pages={123-128} }
We present a new experimental method for the mechanical characterization of freestanding thin films with thickness on the order of nanometers to micrometers. The method allows, for the first time, in-situ SEM and TEM observation of materials response under uniaxial tension, with measurements of both stresses and strains under a wide variety of environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. The materials that can be tested include metals, dielectrics, and multi-layer composites that… CONTINUE READING
