"In the analysis of complex, hierarchical structural meta-materials, it is critical to understand the mechanical behavior at each level of hierarchy in order to understand the bulk material response. We report the fabrication and mechanical deformation of hierarchical hollow tube lattice structures with features ranging from 10 nm to 100 μm, hereby referred to as nanolattices. Titanium nitride (TiN) nanolattices were fabricated using a combination of two-photon lithography, direct laser writing, and atomic layer deposition. [...]"
Experimental Setup
"The individual unit cells and the full nanolattice structures were quasi-statically compressed to failure in an in situ nanoindentation instrument InSEM (Nanomechanics, Inc., Tenessee) previously referred to as SEMentor. [...]"
