Piezospectroscopic measurement of the stress field around an indentation crack tip in ruby using SEM cathodoluminescence

Piezospectroscopy using stress-sensitive lines in the cathodoluminescence (CL) spectrum generated in response to excitation by the electron beam of an SEM has recently been shown to be a promising technique for submicron resolution stress measurements in alumina and other ceramics. This paper develo...
