Nanomechanical characterization by Indentation.

A roughly one-hour lecture on nanoindentation and how to calculate the Young modulus from an indentation curve (Oliver-Pharr & Hertz models). Differences of SmartScan indentation processes will be explained (Set point and Z height). Questions are welcomed at any time during the lecture.

​

Interactive Demo Session Four:
Interactive session will consist of demonstrating nanoindentation process (Set point & Z height). Differences in the result analysis will be explained. Demonstration sample will be a polycarbonate film. Questions are welcomed at any time during the session.
