Abstract

Spatially resolved information about material deformation upon loading is critical to evaluating mechanical properties of materials, and to understanding mechano-response of live systems. Existing techniques may access local properties of materials at nanoscale, but not at locations away from the force-loading positions. Moreover, interpretation of the local measurement relies on correct modeling, the validation of which is not straightforward. Here we demonstrate an approach to evaluating non-local material deformation based on the integration of nanodiamond orientation sensing and atomic force microscopy nanoindentation. This approach features a 5 nm precision in the loading direction and a sub-hundred nanometer lateral resolution, high enough to disclose the surface/interface effects in the material deformation. The non-local deformation profile can validate the models needed for mechanical property determination. The non-local nanometer-precision sensing of deformation facilitates studying mechanical response of complex material systems ranging from impact transfer in nanocomposites to mechano-response of live systems.
