The rate sensitivity and plastic deformation of nanocrystalline tantalum films at nanoscale

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Nanoindentation creep and loading rate change tests were employed to examine the rate sensitivity (<it>m</it>) and hardness of nanocrystalline tetragonal Ta films. Experimental results suggested that the <it>m </it>increased with the decre...
