Abstract

Defect structure beneath and near Vickers indentations made with loads of 10, 25 and 50g in Si has been studied in detail by TEM. Both plan-view and cross-sectional observations have been made. Beneath the 10 and 25g indentations an amorphous phase is formed, but beneath the 50g indentation no amorphous phase is formed.
