“…Using the highest Young's modulus E [111] 5 113 GPa, 46 h 5 70.3°, 19,33 and r Yield 5 1.3 GPa, 14 a maximum value of approximately 40 is found. Knowing that for values close to 100, the deformation mechanisms are mainly plastic (close to metal behavior), whereas for values close to 10, the material behavior is mainly elastic, 44,47 it can be concluded that InP behavior lies between the elastic recovery and plastic deformation. Hence, in contrast to indentation tests, the transition edge, taking into account the scratching direction (arrow 1 in Fig.…”
