What it is

The Bruker Hysitron TI 980 TriboIndenter is a nanomechanical and nanotribological test system for advanced material characterization. The system can accommodate 12-inch wafers. The TI 980's base configuration includes quasi-static nanoindentation, dynamic nanoindentation, XPM mechanical property mapping, nanoscratch, nanowear, and in-situ scanning probe microscopy (SPM) imaging as standard capabilities. The TI 980 is designed to deliver quantitative measurements with ultrahigh performance and flexibility.[1][2]

How it works

The TI 980 employs a 2D capacitive transducer for precise force and displacement measurement. The system is controlled by the Performech II advanced control module, which provides fast feedback control and low noise floors for quantitative characterization. The TI 980 includes in-situ SPM imaging for high-resolution imaging of the sample surface before and after testing. The system also features XPM mechanical property mapping for high-speed, quantitative property maps, and nanoDMA III for nanoscale dynamic mechanical analysis.[1]

Applications

The TI 980 TriboIndenter is used for quantitative nanomechanical and nanotribological characterization of a wide range of materials. Applications include thin films, polymers, ceramics, and composites. The system's ability to perform high-speed property mapping (XPM) and dynamic mechanical analysis (nanoDMA III) makes it suitable for studying viscoelastic properties, wear resistance, and scratch behavior. The system can be configured with additional options such as electrochemical cells, environmental stages, and synchronized Raman spectroscopy for correlative studies.[1]
