In-situ Raman spectroscopic measurements were conducted during indentation of fused silica (FS) samples. The experiments were conducted using Raman spectroscopy-enhanced instrumented indentation
The effect of the crystallographic orientation on the primary and secondary phase transformations of single-crystal silicon (Si) during indentation was investigated in a statistical instrumented
