Title: Tip radius variation with elastic indentation depth

Abstract

The reduced elastic modulus of a material is measured with a nanoindenter probe that is operated in the tapping mode. The resonant frequency of a freely oscillating cantilever is reduced when contact is made between the indenter tip and surface under investigation. It’s shown using elasticity theory that the elastic deformation is a function of the indenter tip radius. A deeper penetration within the elastic range can change the tip radius, and introduce an error of 10% in calculating the reduced elastic modulus.

Inaccuracies in Sneddon`s solution for elastic indentation by a rigid cone and their implications for nanoindentation data analysis

Conference Bolshakov, A ; Pharr, G M

Methods currently used for analyzing nanoindentation load-displacement data to determine a material`s hardness and elastic modulus are based on Sneddon`s solution for the indentation of an elastic half-space by a rigid axisymmetric indenter. Although this solution is widely used, no attempts have been made to determine how well it works for conditions of finite deformation, as is the case in most nanoindentation experiments with sharp indenters. Analytical and finite element results are presented which show that corrections to Sneddon`s solution are needed if it is to be accurately applied to the case of deformation by a rigid cone.

Importance of the indentation depth in tapping-mode atomic force microscopy study of compliant materials

Journal Article Bar, G ; Delineau, L ; Brandsch, R ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We studied the response of a cantilever tapping on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) samples of different crosslink density. It is shown experimentally that the tip deeply penetrates into the compliant PDMS samples. A more compliant material leads to a larger indentation such that at a given set-point ratio the indentation force is nearly constant on samples of different elastic moduli. This confirms the simulations by J. Tamayo and R. Garcia [Appl. Phys. Lett. 71, 2394 (1997)] that phase contrast acquired at constant set point does not depend on the sample's modulus if other contrast relevant parameters remain identical.

Å-Indentation for non-destructive elastic moduli measurements of supported ultra-hard ultra-thin films and nanostructures

Journal Article Cellini, Filippo ; Gao, Yang ; Riedo, Elisa - Scientific Reports

During conventional nanoindentation measurements, the indentation depths are usually larger than 1–10 nm, which hinders the ability to study ultra-thin films (<10 nm) and supported atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials. Here, we discuss the development of modulated Å-indentation to achieve sub-Å indentations depths during force-indentation measurements while also imaging materials with nanoscale resolution. Modulated nanoindentation (MoNI) was originally invented to measure the radial elasticity of multi-walled nanotubes. Now, by using extremely small amplitude oscillations (<<1 Å) at high frequency, and stiff cantilevers, we show how modulated nano/Å-indentation (MoNI/ÅI) enables non-destructive measurements of the contact stiffness and indentation modulus of ultra-thinmore »« less

Continuous measurements of load-penetration curves with spherical micro-indenters and the estimation of mechanical properties

Journal Article Alcala, J ; Giannakopoulos, A E ; Suresh, S - Journal of Materials Research

Elastic and plastic properties of metals and Young{close_quote}s modulus of ceramics are determined in the microindentation regime by continuous measurements of load versus depth of penetration with {ital spherical} indenters. Calibration procedures, usually applied in nanoindentation experiments, are not needed in the microregime where spherical indenters (rather than sharp indenters with microscopical spherical tips) can be manufactured. As indenters of larger diameters are used, the elastic response of the specimen can be probed during the loading stage of the indentation tests (and not only during unloading, as is the case with nanoindenters). Hence, an accurate determination of the Young{close_quote}s modulusmore »« less

Measurement of Young's modulus variation with layer pair and interplanar spacing in gold–nickel nanolaminates using nanoindentation and the tapping mode

Journal Article Ahmed, H. S. Tanvir ; Jankowski, Alan F. - Journal of Applied Physics

The features of grain size and interface separation strengthen the mechanical behavior of metallic nanolaminates. In addition, the presence of interlayer lattice strains can lead to a superlattice structure within the nanolaminate. The superlattice affects intrinsic properties of technological interest including electronic, magnetic, and elastic. The complex elastic and plastic behaviors of gold–nickel nanolaminate superlattice coatings as studied using nanoindentation are revisited with the tapping mode of a force microscope. Young's modulus is determined with nanoindentation during the initial elastic unloading after plastic deformation at depths up to one-fifth the coating thickness. The tapping mode provides a measurement during themore »« less
