From the first observation of moving dislocations in 1956 to the latest developments of piezo-
actuated sample holders and direct electron sensing cameras in modern transmission …

Dynamic transmission electron microscopy allows observation of changes in both the
structure and properties of materials at resolutions from the nanometer to the Ångström …

Fig. 1 demonstrates our fully quantitative approach 2. The loaddisplacement curve (Fig. 1a)
corresponds to a single load-unload cycle of a Berkovich-geometry indenter on a submicron …

For many years, a fundamental problem in contact mechanics, both tribology and
indentation problems, has been the inability to see what is taking place—the buried …

Here, we present a MEMS atomic force microscope sensor for use inside a transmission
electron microscope (TEM). This enables direct in situ TEM force measurements in the …

Supervised robotic platforms, able to perform a non-invasive therapy or minimal invasive
surgery, represent one of the main achievements in recent years. Robotic-assisted medical …

A novel experimental method that enables evaluation of interfacial strength of micro-
components subjected to well-controlled various environments is proposed. The method …

This paper presents the design and development of a MEMS based, capacitive sensor for
micro-force measurement. The sensor has an overall dimension of 3600 μm× 1000 μm× 10 …

In situ TEM mechanical stages based on micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) have
developed rapidly over recent decades. However, image-based quantification of MEMS …

Indentation of an Al film cross-section in situ in a transmission electron microscope at room
temperature provides a direct observation of the absorption of threading dislocations by the …
