Micro-mechanical measurements of fracture toughness of bismuth embrittled copper grain boundaries
Measuring the fracture properties of single grain boundaries has until now required macroscopic bi-crystals which are expensive and not always available. We describe a method for fracture testing using micro-cantilevers, manufactured using focussed ion beam machining and tested using a nanoindenter....
