“…20,21 At the same time, some authors reported experimentally the deformation-induced microdefects, such as stacking faults, dislocations and cracks in silicon under indentation with large loads and a large radius tip. 13,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] For example, Zarudi and Zhang 13 analyzed the subsurface structure of indented mono-crystalline silicon by means of high-resolution a) electron microscopy on cross-section view samples. To understand the micro-structural changes with respect to indentation, a series of tests were conducted under total indentation loads of 30,40,50,70,90, and 100 mN, respectively.…”
