Energetics and Kinetics of Dislocation Initiation in the Stressed Volume at Small Scales

Energetics and Kinetics of Dislocation Initiation in the Stressed Volume at Small Scales

Instrumented nanoindentation techniques have been widely used in characterizing mechanical behavior of materials in small length scales. For defect-free single crystals under nanoindentation, the onset of elastic-plastic transition is often shown by a sudden displacement burst in the measured load-d...
