Conical Nanoindentation Allows Azimuthally Independent Hardness Determination in Geological and Biogenic Minerals
The remarkable mechanical performance of biominerals often relies on distinct crystallographic textures, which complicate the determination of the nanohardness from indentations with the standard non-rotational-symmetrical Berkovich punch. Due to the anisotropy of the biomineral to be probed, an azi...
