In situ nanomechanical testing of twinned metals in a transmission electron microscope

In Situ Nanomechanical Testing of Crystalline Nanowires in Electron Microscopes

This article reviews in situ mechanical testing of crystalline nanowires in scanning and transmission electron microscopes, focusing on bottom–up synthesized, single-crystalline nanowires. Major experimental methods including resonance, bending, tension and buckling are summarized. In addition to commonly encountered experimental issues, deformation mechanisms learned from the in situ nanomecha...
