Mechanical properties of lithiated silicon: A candidate electrode for lithium ion batteries - (PPT)

摘要

The Nanoindenter of Pethica and Oliver came along at the prefect time to help in the development of thin film technologies. It caused me to completely change directions in research. The method of Oliver and Pharr helped to establish nanoindentation as the most widely applicable technique for the study of small scale materials. The study of lithiated silicon thin films on Mo substrates described here is just another application of this well established technique.
