Room-Temperature Creep Behavior and Activation Volume of Dislocation Nucleation in a LiTaO<sub>3</sub> Single Crystal by Nanoindentation

The crystal orientation effect on mechanical heterogeneity of LiTaO<sub>3</sub> single crystals is well known, whilst the time-dependent plastic behavior, i.e., creep is still short of understanding. Relying on nanoindentation technology, we systematically studied room-temperature creep...
