The hardness of thick, high-purity, epitaxially grown silver on sodium chloride is found to be
dependent on the size of the indentation for sizes below≃ 10 μm. The measurement of the …

Based on recent theoretical and experimental results regarding the appearance of
supermodulus phenomena in composition-modulated layered heterostructures and on a …

Nanoindentation and nanoscratching experiments have been performed to assess the
mechanical properties of several carbon thin films with potential application as wear …

CN x films were found to have a distorted graphitelike microstructure consisting of buckled
and curved basal planes using high-resolution electron microscopy. Nanoindentation …

The stress/strain behavior of bulk material is usually investigated in uniaxial tension or
compression; however, these methods are not generally available for very small volumes of …

Young's moduli of nanocrystalline Fe, Cu, Ni, and Cu-Ni alloys prepared by mechanical
milling/alloying have been measured by the nanoindentation technique. The results indicate …

Ultralow load indentation techniques can be used to obtain time-dependent mechanical
properties, termed indentation creep, of materials. However, the comparison of indentation …

The nanoindentation process of a hard coating on a softer substrate has been simulated by
the finite element method (FEM). The frequently used three-face Berkovich indenter was …

Diamond indentation of a surface with a thin passive film require s loads an order of
magnitude smaller for Ni〈 100〉 crystals than for Fe-3 wt% Si〈 100〉 crystals. The load …

Nanoindentation techniques were used to measure Young's modulus for nanocrystalline Fe
samples produced by inert-gas condensation and warm consolidation. The samples had …
