Abstract
Nano-moiré method presented in this paper is an experimental technique which allows direct measurement of nanoscopic mechanical parameters, such as displacement, strain and dislocation distribution. The basic idea is the formation of moiré fringes when a HREM (high resolution electron microscopy) image of crystal material is superimposed with a unidirectional grating. Fourier filtering technique is used to increase the contrast of fringes and to multiple the fringes. This method has atom-size sensitivity and spatial resolution, and relatively large range. It provides a new experimental technique with very high sensitivity and spatial resolution for nanomechanics.
