Nanoindentation is a measurement technique which is important in measuring Young’s modulus and hardness in thin films and any other situations involving the measurement of limited amounts of material.

In this study the Young's modulus of low-k dielectric thin films is determined using a KLA G200 Nano Indenter. ... dry air (20°C, 1 atm) has a dielectric constant of 1.00059 [2], but dry air cannot ...

Nanoindentation: A technique that uses a sharp tip (indenter) to apply a controlled load to a sample and measures the resulting indentation depth.By analyzing the load-displacement data, the Young's ...

For an applied shear stress, t, the shear strain, g, is given by: t = G g, where G is the shear modulus. If the material is subject to a hydrostatic pressure, p, the volume strain, (dV/V), is given by ...

Young's modulus is a crucial mechanical property in engineering, as it defines the stiffness of a material and tells us how much it will deform for an applied stress. In this video I take a detailed ...

The material speaks to something called Young's modulus, and steel has a value around 200 GPa. Using this value and a cable length of 9.55 meters with a diameter of, say, 5 mm, I get a spring ...

Figure 2b shows both the apparent Young’s modulus (solid symbols) and the Young’s modulus of the film alone (open symbols) plotted as a function of normalized indentation depth. The fact that the two ...

Young's modulus is a crucial mechanical property in engineering, as it defines the stiffness of a material and tells us how much it will deform for an applied stress. In this video I take a ...
