Deformation behavior and mechanical properties of polycrystalline and single crystal alumina during nanoindentation

The nanoscale pop-in phenomena in polycrystalline alpha-Al2O3 and single crystal alpha-Al2O3(0001) were comparatively investigated by nanoindentation with Berkovich indenters. It was found that different radii and loading rates have significant effects on the pop-ins formation, stress distributions...
