Nanotribological Properties of Ga- and N-Faced Bulk Gallium Nitride Surfaces Determined by Nanoscratch Experiments

Through nanoscratch experiments with a spherical diamond indenter, a contrastive study of the nanotribological properties of Ga- and N-faced gallium nitride (GaN) samples was carried out. Nanoindentation results revealed that the elastic modulus of the Ga-faced GaN sample was slightly higher than th...
