Development of a Biaxial Tensile Module at Synchrotron Beamline for the Study of Mechanical Properties of Nanostructured Films
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 January 2011
Abstract
We have developed on the DIFFABS-SOLEIL beamline a biaxial tensile machine with synchrotron standard for in-situ diffraction characterization of thin polycrystalline metallic film mechanical response. The machine has been designed to test cruciform substrates coated by the studied film under controlled applied strain field. Technological challenges comprise the fixation of the substrate, the generation of a uniform strain field in the studied (central) volume, the operations from the beamline pilot. Tests on W and W/Cu multilayers films deposited on polyimide substrates are presented.
