“…This result clearly indicates that the NC-type nanolaminate is susceptible to the pile-up formation, which is due to the strong interaction of indenter and substrate so that strain waves appear at the surface. 36,37 The Voronoi analysis was conducted to understand the structural variations and the local atomic rearrangements under the evolution of indenting process. 38 Using Voronoi tessellation, the local structure of glass was defined through the polyhedrons with the indices <n i3 , n i4 , n i5 , n i6 >, where the polyhedron i-edged faces are demonstrated by the "ni" parameter.…”
