Abstract
A heated or cooled sample holding stage for use in a nanoindentation measurement system is described. The geometry of the design and the selection of materials minimizes movement of a sample holder with respect to a nanoindentation tip over a wide range of temperatures. The system controls and minimizes motion of the sample holder due to the heating or cooling of the tip holder and/or the sample holder in a high temperature nanoindentation system. This is achieved by a combination of geometry, material selection and multiple sources and sinks of heat. The system is designed to control both the steady state and the transient displacement response.
