Nanoindentation

Directly correlate mechanical properties measurements from indentation with comprehensive chemical analyses from Raman, in situ.

Raman/nanoindentation

Combine the power of inVia with nanoindentation measurements and directly correlate mechanical and tribological properties with chemical information, such as crystallinity, polymorphism, phase and stress/strain.

One combined system

Using our fibre optic technology, inVia can couple to a range of nanoindentation systems, such as the TI 950 TriboIndenter® from Hysitron. Such pairings result in a combined instrument that provides greatly enhanced characterisation capabilities.

For maximum efficiency you can analyse the same location on the sample by indentation and Raman spectroscopy without needing to transfer and orient samples between instruments. The inVia and nanoindenter can also be used independently and simultaneously, without any compromise in individual performance.

Collect high quality correlated data from your sample

Nano-scale indentation, scratch and wear analysis
Determine local, mechanical and tribological properties
in situ SPM for surface topography imaging
Raman spectroscopy for chemical and structural properties

Gain greater insights into mechanical properties and deformation behaviour at the nanoscale and microscale.

PN196 Indentation and Raman spectroscopy combined thumbnail

Application note: Indentation and Raman spectroscopy combined

Combine the power of inVia™ with nanoindentation measurements and directly correlate mechanical and tribological properties with chemical information such as crystallinity, polymorphism, phase and stress/strain. Raman spectroscopy is a powerful technique commonly used to study the composition, uniformity, strain, stress and disorder of materials. However, it does not directly characterise physical, mechanical and tribological properties. Renishaw and Hysitron have combined an inVia confocal Raman microscope with a TI 950 TriboIndenter, producing a system with the capability to directly correlate mechanical property measurements with comprehensive chemical analyses, in situ.

News release: Combined Raman spectroscopy and nanoindentation assessment of complex materials

An article in the July/August 2016 issue of Microscopy and Analysis presents a new system that physically couples a Raman spectroscopy system with a nanoindenter on a shared stage that uniquely enables combined assessment of materials with submicrometre spatial resolution at single sites or spanning millimetre-sized regions.
