Nanoindentation has become a commonplace tool for the measurement of mechanical
properties at small scales, but may have even greater importance as a technique for …

Electronic materials such as semiconductors, piezo‐and ferroelectrics, and metal oxides are
primary constituents in sensing, actuation, nanoelectronics, memory, and energy systems …

The effect of Cu on the mechanical and precipitation properties of a high strength Al-2.4 at.%
Zn-2.1 at.% Mg alloy was investigated by compression and indentation tests, as well as by …

Using in situ nanoindentation in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) the indentation-
induced plasticity in ultrafine-grained Al and Al–Mg thin films has been studied, together with …

As a tribute to the scientific work of Professor David Brandon, this paper delineates the
possibilities of utilizing in situ transmission electron microscopy to unravel dislocation-grain …

A mechanistic model that describes the microscopic mechanisms underlying plastic
instability in precipitation strengthened Al–Li based alloy systems is proposed in this work …

Plastic deformation of Al–Mg alloys were investigated by analyzing the stress–strain curves
obtained in uniaxial compression tests at constant loading rate. Experimental results have …

This review surveys the characteristics of face-centered cubic (fcc) metals and alloys
processed by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP). The significance of the Hall–Petch …

This review surveys the phenomenon of plastic instabilities occurring in depth-sensing
indentation measurements. Investigations presented focus on the characterization of …

The depth-sensing indentation method has been applied for almost 30 years. In this review,
a survey of several extended applications developed during the last three decades is …
