Nanoindentation based techniques were significantly enhanced by continuous stiffness
monitoring capabilities. In essence, this allowed to expand from point-wise discrete …

Nanoindentation is a technique which can be used to measure the mechanical properties of
materials with high precision, even when they are only available in small quantities. As a …

Nanoindentation has become a commonplace tool for the measurement of mechanical
properties at small scales, but may have even greater importance as a technique for …

Single crystalline silicon was plunge-cut using diamond tools at a low speed. Cross-
sectional transmission electron microscopy and laser micro-Raman spectroscopy were used …

Overcoming the brittleness of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is a challenge for industrial
applications. To increase the mechanical strength, MOFs have been blended with polymers …

Abstract High-power, short-duration, laser-driven, shock compression and recovery
