Schematic illustrations of the tension apparatus and sample design.

(a) The tension apparatus composing two bimetallic arms fixed onto a φ=3 mm TEM copper grid (the dimensions are not in proportion). (b) The microbeam samples for in situ tensile testing cut from a microplate glued onto the tips of the bimetallic arms. (c) Schematic illustration of the tensile deformation induced by heating.
