[0050] Embodiment

[0051] As shown in Figure 1 , the cutting force measurement method for atomic precision machining according to the present application comprises the following steps:

[0052] Step one, determine the elastic stiffness of the AFM probe 2. Restricted by the field of view range of the transmission electron microscope under a certain magnification in experimental observation, the bending deflection of the AFM probe 2 must be controlled within a certain range. Under a given cutting force, the greater the elastic stiffness of the AFM probe 2, the smaller the bending displacement. The elastic stiffness of the AFM is estimated according to the following formula:

[0053] ;

[0054] In the formula, is the estimated elastic stiffness of the atomic force microscope probe, is the maximum bending displacement allowed by the AFM probe 2 within the field of view range under the experimental observation magnification, is the estimated cutting stroke, is the estimated cutting force, which is mainly affected by the cutting depth, sample thickness, sample material properties, etc.

[0055] Step two, pretreat the AFM probe 2. As shown in Figure 2 , select a 0.25mm diameter gold wire 3, use tweezers and pliers to fold one end into a platform shaped like a paperclip, with the platform being 3.5mm long in total. The tail of the gold wire 3 is left 15mm long, and the tail is bent to be perpendicular to the platform shaped like a paperclip. As shown in Figure 3As shown, the AFM probe 2 (for example, model PPP-NCST) is adhered to the gold wire 3 platform using conductive silver paste. One end of the AFM probe 2 is a cantilever beam, and attention should be paid to the fact that the free end of the cantilever beam should be directed towards the tail of the gold wire 3 platform, and the AFM probe 2 should be perpendicular to the tail of the gold wire 3.

[0056] Step three, preparation of the cut sample. The pretreated AFM probe 2-gold wire 3 is adhered to the FIB micro-nano cutting sample stage, and the AFM probe 2 is ensured to be vertical. The cut sample is adhered to the pin-shaped sample stage and simultaneously placed in the FIB micro-nano cutting sample stage. Using the focused ion beam micro-nano processing technology, the free end of the cantilever beam on the AFM probe 2 is flattened, and a micrometer piece with a thickness of 1 μm, a height of 5 μm, and a length of 15 μm is processed on the surface of the cut sample. The micrometer piece is vertically transferred to the flattened free end of the cantilever beam, as shown in FIG. 4. Figure 4 Subsequently, a series of thin pieces with a height of 1 μm, a length of 2 μm, and a thickness of 100 nm are processed at the top end of the micrometer piece using the focused ion beam, as shown in FIG. 5. Figure 5 Under a voltage of 5 kv, the thin pieces are blown by the focused ion beam to further reduce the thickness at the top end of the micrometer piece to 30 nm. It is necessary to ensure the flatness and uniform thickness of the top of the cut sample to reduce the change of the cutting depth and the cutting thickness with the cutting stroke. The FIB micro-nano cutting sample stage and the pin-shaped sample stage are common structures used by FIB, and the cut sample is a non-magnetic solid material that can be processed by FIB, such as metal materials such as gold, silver, and copper, high-entropy alloys, covalent materials such as silicon and silicon carbide, and the like. In this embodiment, the demonstration material is single-crystal gold.

[0057] Step four, preparation of the atomically sharp diamond tool. Using the {111} oriented diamond as the base material, a diamond micrometer piece with a height of 5 μm, a width of 1 μm, and a thickness of 1 μm is prepared using the focused ion beam micro-nano processing technology and is vertically transferred to the finger of the half-copper mesh 4. Then, a diamond nanometer needle tip with a height of 1 μm and a diameter of 100 nm is processed on the diamond micrometer piece using the focused ion beam, as shown in FIG. 6. Figure 6 The diamond nanometer needle tip is polished to a diameter of 30 nm using an ion thinning instrument, as shown in FIG. 7. Figure 7 The half-copper mesh 4 with the diamond nanometer needle tip is installed on the X-Nano multi-degree-of-freedom in-situ transmission electron microscope sample rod. Based on the sub-nanometer level displacement control capability, the bending of the diamond nanometer needle tip until the cleavage fracture can be realized, and the atomically sharp diamond tool can be obtained. The process of forming the cleavage surface at the top end of the diamond tool nanometer needle tip is shown in FIG. 8. Figure 8 The X-Nano multi-degree-of-freedom in-situ transmission electron microscope sample rod is a carrier of the sample, and the existing structure is adopted. The X-Nano multi-degree-of-freedom in-situ transmission electron microscope sample rod is used in cooperation with the transmission electron microscope.

[0058] Step five, install the lamella sample on the X-Nano multi-degree-of-freedom in-situ transmission electron microscope sample holder. Install the half copper mesh 4 with diamond knife on the X-Nano multi-degree-of-freedom in-situ transmission electron microscope sample holder, and connect the half copper mesh 4 with the sample holder movable end 6 through the copper mesh clamp 5. Install the AFM probe 2 with gold wire 3 on the X-Nano multi-degree-of-freedom in-situ transmission electron microscope sample holder external frame 1. The installation requires that the free end of the cantilever beam faces the diamond knife on the half copper mesh 4, and the half copper mesh 4, the external frame 1 and the lamella sample are coplanar. The schematic diagram after installation is shown in Figure 9 .

[0059] Step six, use the X-Nano multi-degree-of-freedom nanomanipulation technology to measure the cutting force. As shown in Figure 10 , under the transmission electron microscope, use the X-Nano multi-degree-of-freedom in-situ transmission electron microscope sample holder to control the displacement, adjust the relative position and height of the lamella sample and the diamond knife, so that the diamond knife is aligned with the lamella sample and contacts on one side of the cut lamella. Through the X-Nano control program, control the nanoneedle to move along the x-axis, and the movement process needs to be slow and uniform. Use the atomic-level sharp edge formed by the intersection of the cleavage plane and the surface to cut the sample, realize atomic precision machining of the cutting depth in the range of several nanometers to several tens of nanometers. Note that the X-Nano multi-degree-of-freedom in-situ transmission electron microscope goniometer stage cannot be moved at this time.

[0060] Step seven, calculate the cutting force based on the transmission electron microscope video. According to the pictures of each frame in the high-resolution video, calculate the displacement of the cutter and the cut sample along the x-direction in different frames, respectively denoted as and . The cutting stroke is calculated according to the displacement difference of the cutter and the cut sample at the same time, and the formula is as follows:

[0061] ;

[0062] The cutting force can be calculated according to the product of the displacement of the cut sample and the elastic stiffness of the cantilever beam , and the formula is as follows:

[0063] ;

[0064] According to this method, the cutting stroke and the cutting force at different times are calculated, and the "cutting stroke-cutting force" curve can be drawn, as shown in Figure 11 .

[0065] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify or replace the technical solutions of the present invention with equivalents, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot cause the modified technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
