We describe in detail, the design, construction, and testing of a specimen holder that allows for the nanoindentation of surfaces while viewing in cross-section in a high voltage transmission electron microscope (TEM). This nanoindentation specimen holder, having three-axis position control of a dia

β¦ Synopsis
A computer-control procedure was developed to facilitate in situ fatigue experiments within an intermediate voltage transmission electron microscope using a goniometer-type straining holder. The procedure was designed to allow sine-wave tension-tension cyclic loading of a microfatigue specimen similar in geometry to a center-crack panel fatigue specimen. Computer control allows greater freedom for the operator to control the experiments while providing better reproducibility from one test to another. Further development of this procedure is possible by coupling this computer-control technique with computer-controlled stage motion and digitized TV imaging.

A jet-polishing technique has been developed for use in the preparation of microtensile specimens for HVEM examination. The technique requires the use of a pair of Teflon sheet inserts with rectangular openings in a conventional specimen holder. When inserts with optimum opening dimensions are used,
The stress distribution in a foil strained in situ in a transmission electron microscope is strongly affected by the polished depression and the hole. In the present study, this effect has been investigated in detail on a Fe-Si foil plastically deformed under uniaxial straining in transmission elect
The synthesis and processing of materials is often highly sensitive to the presence of trace contaminants and a number of technologically important materials demand the clean conditions associated with an ultrahigh vacuum environment. With increasing interest in understanding materials phenomena occ
