In-Situ Nanomechanics in the Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM)
Discover what is possible with small-scale in-situ mechanical testing in the TEM
Recent advances in nanomechanical holder design, microscopy techniques, and detector technology enable unprecedented observations of small-scale material behavior under applied stress. In this webinar, experts describe these technology advances and present real-life examples of in-situ mechanical testing in the TEM.
This webinar contains two segments:
- Technology overview and introduction to the Hysitron PI 95 TEM PicoIndenter, presented by Sanjit Bhowmick, Ph.D.
- Study observing dynamic crystallographic changes and the Bauschinger effect within thin films under in-situ cyclic tensile strain, presented by Cristian Kübel, Ph.D.
Webinar Summary
In-situ nanomechanical testing inside a transmission electron microscope (TEM) provides unique insight into material dynamics at the micrometer, nanometer, and atomic scales.
In this webinar, Bruker nanomechanics expert Dr. Sanjit Bhowmick discusses the design and capabilities of Bruker’s Hysitron PI 95 TEM PicoIndenter, along with an introduction to the wide variety of small-scale mechanical testing techniques that are possible inside a TEM.
Then, Dr. Christian Kübel (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) presents a study on observing dynamic crystallographic changes and the Bauschinger effect within thin films under in-situ cyclic tensile strain.
