What is it about?

Different (nano-/micro-)mechanical characterization methods of atomic layer deposited micro- and nanostructures were presented in this paper. The basic system uses a fully-programmable micro-robotic assembly in combination with force sensors to study different structures mainly by pushing.

Why is it important?

The programmability and the controllability of the micro-robotic assembly increases the repeatability and reliability of the measurements and enables precise characterization of micro- and nanosctructures.

Perspectives

My work in this paper involved the interfacial mechanical testing of atomic layer deposited thin films by using embedded microspheres. The method was first presented in http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.4827197 and further developed in http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/c4ra05807k.
