Nanoscale elastic-plastic deformation and mechanical properties of 3C-SiC thin film using nanoindentation

The elastic-plastic deformation of 3C-SiC thin film was investigated by a nanoindenter equipped with the Berkovich tip. Transition from pure elastic to elastic-plastic deformation was evidenced at an approximate load of 0.35 mN, when loading the sample at several peak loads ranging from 0.5 to 5 mN....
