Superior Nano- to Micro-Scale Dynamic Testing Nanoindentation represents a key technique for the measurement of nanoscale mechanical properties. While quasi-static nanoindentation supports characterization of the relationship between stress and strain in the form of a load-displacement history, it can require a multitude of tests to achieve a thorough understanding of material behavior. Dynamic testing, however, reveals contact stiffness as a function of depth, enabling analyses that would have once required hundreds of thousands of quasi-static tests. Studies of thin films and device...

True Nanoscale Topography Analysis Bruker’s NanoForce system includes the NanoLens™ module, which is a compact, fully contained atomic force microscope (AFM), which provides extremely high-resolution imaging down to fractions of a nanometer. AFMs operate by measuring force between a micronsized probe and the sample. Though the lateral resolution of an AFM is relatively low (~30 nm), the vertical resolution is extremely high (up to 0.1 nm). Images are acquired by a probe scanning over a small area of the sample, measuring nanoscale topography, thermal and electrical properties, magnetism,...
