In situ force and electrical performance comprehensive test sample rod with biaxial tilting for transmission electron microscope

Abstract

The invention relates to a comprehensive test sample rod for double-shaft tilting in-situ force and electric property of a transmission electron microscope, belonging to the researching field of in-situ measurement of transmission electron microscope accessories and nanometer materials. The comprehensive test sample rod comprises a self-designed transmission electron microscope sample rod, a force / electric property sensor, a pressing sheet, a front end of sample rod and a sensor carrier, wherein the force / electric property sensor is fixed on the sensor carrier at the front end of sample rod through the pressing sheet; the sensor carrier is connected to the front end of sample rod through rotating shafts located on two sides and can rotate around the two rotating shafts in a plane verticalto the front end of sample rod (namely rotating for + / -30 degrees around Y shafts); and electrodes of the force / electric property sensor are connected to the electrodes on the two sides of the front end of the sample rod through the pressing sheet and are connected to an external test device through leads in the sample rod, thereby realizing the in-plane loading (in a sensor plane) of a force / electric signal and the feedback real-time monitoring. The comprehensive test sample rod can be used for tilting a searching sample to be under a low-index positive belt shaft, thereby realizing in-situ atomic scale observation while acquiring force / electric comprehensive property parameters.

Problems solved by technology

Although the above-mentioned commercial TEM deformation device provides a favorable tool for in situ research on the microstructure changes during the deformation process of nanomaterials, there is a technical bottleneck obstacle: the in situ mechanical behavior of the commercial TEM sample stretching table is basically Single-axis tilting, unable to achieve tilting along the Y-axis

In addition, although the commercial dual-axis tilting sample holder technology is very mature, these sample holders can only realize the observation of the sample but cannot realize the stress loading on the sample in the sample plane under the condition of dual-axis tilting, which limits the researcher. In-situ study of deformation, fracture, phase transition and other mechanisms of materials at the atomic scale

[0004] It should be pointed out that the above methods are mainly to load the sample stress by installing complex mechanical transmission devices on the sample rod of the transmission electron microscope. Since these devices are installed on the sample rod of the transmission electron microscope, the sample rod will In the transmission electron microscope, the stress can only be loaded on the sample under the uniaxial tilt (X axis). For the situation where the related properties of the material need to be studied in situ under the positive band axis of the atomic scale, the tilting premise of the Y axis cannot be realized. In order to realize the stress loading in the plane of the sample, it is difficult to have the opportunity to conduct in-situ deformation dynamic research at the high-resolution state or atomic level, which poses a huge challenge to people's correct understanding of the properties of materials.
