Atomistic Insights into the Phase Transformation of Single-Crystal Silicon during Nanoindentation

The influence of the indenter angle on the deformation mechanisms of single-crystal Si was analyzed via molecular dynamics simulations of the nanoindentation process. Three different types of diamond conical indenters with semi-angles of 45°, 60°, and 70° were used. The load–indentation depth curves...
