X Abstract

Diamond indentation of a surface with a thin passive film requires loads an order of magnitude smaller for Ni crystals than for Fe-3 wt% Si crystals. The load bearing capacity of the Fe-3 wt% Si can be reduced by two orders of magnitude by removing the 10 nm thick native oxide film. These phenomena can be explained by considering the equilibrium of forces associated with tip, image and friction stresses acting on dislocations emitted from the indenter tip. The key ingredient to this model is the nucleation and growth of dislocation loops at loads of only tens of micronewtons. Three types of critical contact experiments demonstrate that dislocations can be initiated at loads well below those previously thought to represent elastic loading only.

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.
