Revealing the Plastic Mode of Time-Dependent Deformation of a LiTaO<sub>3</sub> Single Crystal by Nanoindentation

Recently, instrumental nanoindentation has been widely applied to detect time-dependent plastic deformation or creep behavior in numerous materials, particularly thin films and heterogeneous materials. However, deformation mechanism at nanoindentation holding stage has not been well revealed hithert...
