Estimations of bulk hardness from nanoindentation are frequently subject to considerable
uncertainties due to indentation size effects (ISE), pileup effects, and potential influence of …

This paper is dedicated to the discussion of some issues connected with the commonly
applied methods to analyze radiation hardening using nanoindentation on ion-irradiated …

The size dependence of microscale mechanical properties is crucial for evaluating
irradiation hardening using nanoindentation and micropillar compression tests. To predict …

Classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of nanoindentation tests are performed in
defect-free at 300, 600 and 1000 K and defected crystals at 300 and 600 K of pure Fe and …

W-based alloys are perceived as one of the most promising plasma-facing materials (PFMs).
During the service of fusion reactors, W-based PFMs will be exposed to 14 MeV fusion …

In this study, we propose a model to assess the nanoindentation hardness of shallow ion-
irradiated materials. The new model is built upon two factors: 1) the contribution of the …

The existing nano-indentation method and developmental micro-tensile testing method are
more attractive in accurately defining the irradiation effect on the mechanical behavior and …

Nanoindentation of ion-irradiated materials has attracted much interest as a tool envisaged
to derive the dose dependence of bulk-equivalent hardness from small samples. A major …

Under intensive irradiation of ultrafast laser and swift ions, a metal material like tungsten is
not in electronic ground state but in excited states. In the excited states, the properties of …
