摘要
The purpose of this article is to present the design and capabilities of two in situ scanning electron. microscope (SEM) indentation instruments covering a large load range from mu N to N. The capabilities and advantages of in situ SEM indentation are illustrated by two applications: indentation of a thin film and a nanowire. All the experiments were performed on electrodeposited cobalt, whose outstanding magnetic properties make it a candidate material for MEMS and NEMS devices. Microsc. Res. Tech. 72:242-249, 2009.
