How Can Elastic Deformation Be Measured in Catalytic Materials?
Elastic deformation in catalytic materials can be measured using several techniques:
- X-ray Diffraction (XRD): This technique can determine changes in the crystal lattice parameters, indicating elastic deformation. - Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): AFM can measure surface deformations at the nanoscale, providing insights into the material's elastic properties. - Nanoindentation: This method involves pressing a sharp indenter into the material and measuring the depth of the indentation, which can be used to calculate the elastic modulus.
