Aims: This JRP will develop traceable measurement and characterisation of strain at the nanoscale in piezoelectric materials. Significant advances will be made in developing non-destructive measurement techniques suitable for the characterisation of novel electronic devices, and the effects of sample preparation for destructive techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) will be investigated.
