Investigating Nanoscale Contact Using AFM-Based Indentation and Molecular Dynamics Simulations

In this work we study nanocontact plasticity in Au thin films using an atomic force microscope based indentation method with the goal of relating the changes in surface morphology to the dislocations created by deformation. This provides a rigorous test of our understanding of deformation and disloc...
