Comparative Study of Phase Transformation in Single-Crystal Germanium during Single and Cyclic Nanoindentation

Single-crystal germanium is a semiconductor material which shows complicated phase transformation under high pressure. In this study, new insight into the phase transformation of diamond-cubic germanium (dc-Ge) was attempted by controlled cyclic nanoindentation combined with Raman spectroscopic anal...
