In light of the current industrial growth, thin film coatings which are reliable in respect to their mechanical behavior are an essential feature.
It is difficult to take accurate measurements of the elastic modulus when it comes to thin films, because of what is called the substrate effect.
This is an aritcle about high-temperature, high-throughput nanoindentation measurements with XPM.
