Calibrated Single Crystal Diamond Tip-Nanoindentation,/ Nanoscratching/ Lithography-b

Description

These tips are specifically designed for high mechanical loads and scratch testing applications. By using wear-resistant diamond and a board cone angle the contact size is well characterized and stays constant during repeated mechanical measurements. These probes have demonstrated highly repeatable deep (~100nm) indentations into materials such as fused silica and are able to image the indents at high resolution in-situ using the same probe. A gold reflex coating deposited on the detector side of the cantilever to enhance the reflectance of the laser beam.
