crushing

"Crushing" is a technique used for preparing a thin film on an oxide, a ceramic material, etc. In this technique, a bulk specimen is crushed in an agate mortor and the crushed specimen is dispersed in an organic solvent (methanol, acetone, etc.). After this process, an obtained suspending solution is dropped onto a microgrid for TEM and then thin specimen fragments are deposited.
