Simulation of defect nucleation in a crystal
Article Abstract:
Research into nanoindentation shows that homogenous defect nucleation occurs within a crystal when the roughness of its surface is similar to the radius of the indenter tip, while the depth of the nucleation site below the surface and the half-width of the contact are proportional.
