• ITMO Researchers Find New Way To Measure Material Durability for Flexible Electronics

  Physicists from ITMO University suggest a new method to measure the durability of perovskite nanoparticles used to create flexible devices – including folding screens, pressure sensors, and solar cells. Instead of the standard sharp needle of the atomic force microscope that is unfit for fragile nanoparticles, the researchers suggested using a blunt probe that works as a miniature press: it compresses the crystal without destroying it. Additionally, to increase the accuracy of calculations, the team developed a 3D model of the experiment that takes into account particle surface irregularities and the probe’s angle. The study was published in Applied Physics Letters.
