Randomness and Statistical Laws of Indentation-Induced Pop-Out in Single Crystal Silicon

Randomness and discreteness for appearance of pop-out of the single crystal silicon with a (100) orientation were studied by a self-made indentation device. For a given maximum penetration load, the load Ppo for appearance of pop-out fluctuates in a relatively large range, which makes it hard to stu...
