Atomistic understanding of the variable nano-hardness of C-plane sapphire considering the crystal anisotropy

Nanoindentation test method is widely used to measure the material hardness, which is a standard test and the effect of measurement error is limited. However, the measured results of the nano-hardness for the same plane of single crystal materials, such as sapphire, were very different. The possible...
