Conventional Nanoindentation in Self-Assembled Monolayers Deposited on Gold and Silver Substrates

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are promising materials for micromechanical applications. However, characterization of mechanical properties of monolayers is challenging for standard nanoindentation, and new efficient analysis techniques are needed. Hereby, a conventional nanoindentation method has...
