On the Tapping Mode Measurement for Young’s Modulus of Nanocrystalline Metal Coatings
Young’s modulus of nanocrystalline metal coatings is measured using the oscillating, that is, tapping, mode of a cantilever with a diamond tip. The resonant frequency of the cantilever changes when the diamond tip comes in contact with a sample surface. A Hertz-contact-based model is further develop...
