Various techniques are used to analyze cracking in nanomaterials:
1. Microscopy: Techniques like Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) provide detailed images of cracks at the nanoscale. 2. Spectroscopy: Methods such as Raman spectroscopy can detect changes in material properties due to cracking. 3. Mechanical Testing: Nanoindentation and other mechanical tests can help assess the impact of cracks on material properties.
