CryoStage for AFM

CryoStage for AFM

Material properties change substantially as a function of temperature, from crystallisation and melting processes at high temperatures, to phase transformation and mechanical stiffening at lower temperatures.   Further energy production processes in many of today’s clean-energy materials show a strong efficiency dependence with environmental temperature.  

JPK’s CryoStage provides a unique solution to investigating the temperature dependence of materials from -120°C to +220°C.  Particularly relevant for polymers, it can also be applied to ceramics, magnetic materials, composites, energy materials, thin films, and even metals.  Using the AFM’s superior resolution, watch and study crystallisation processes and the ordering of material phases, at the nanoscale.  Use QI nanomechanical mapping capability or advanced Ramp Scripting to quantitative track stiffness and adhesive changes.
