The nanoindentation test has become one of the most broadly expanded techniques used to
measure the mechanical properties in a sub-micron range. However, the interpretation of the …

The information provided by the shape of the unloading portion of indentation curves is used
to calculate the area of contact between the indenter and the material. Results obtained in …

Nanoindentation is a simple and effective means for evaluating the mechanical properties of
thin films. In such circumstances, nanoindentation testers have been developed and …

We examine the effects of the substrate on the determination of mechanical properties of thin
films by nanoindentation. The properties of aluminum and tungsten films on the following …

Methods for analyzing nanoindentation load-displacement data to determine hardness and
