X Abstract

We propose a nucleation theory-based analysis for incipient plasticity during nanoindentation and predict the statistical distribution of rate-dependent pop-in events for many nominally identical indentations on the same surface. In the framework of stress-assisted, thermally activated defect nucleation, we quantitatively rationalize new nanoindentation measurements on 4H SiC and extract the activation volume of the nucleation events that mark the onset of plastic flow. We also illustrate how this statistical approach can differentiate between unique nucleation events for different indenter tip geometries.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
