Nanoscale elastic-plastic deformation and stress distributions on the C plane of sapphire single crystal during nanoindentation
The nanoscale elastic-plastic characteristics of the C plane of sapphire single crystal were studied by ultra-low nanoindentation loads with a Berkovich indenter within the indentation depth less than 60 nm. The smaller the loading rate is, the greater the corresponding critical pop-in loads and the...
