abstract = {In this work we study nanocontact plasticity in Au thin
films using an atomic force microscope based indentation
method with the goal of relating the changes in surface
morphology to the dislocations created by deformation. This
provides a rigorous test of our understanding of deformation
and dislocation mechanisms in small volumes. A series of
indentation experiments with increasing maximum load was
performed. Distinct elastic and plastic regimes were
identified in the force-displacement curves, and the
corresponding residual imprints were measured. Transmission
electron microscope based measured dislocation densities
appear to be smaller than the densities expected from the
measured residual indents. With the help of molecular
dynamics simulations we show that dislocation nucleation and
glide alone fail to explain the low dislocation density.
Increasing the temperature of the simulations accelerates
the rate of thermally activated processes and promotes
motion and annihilation of dislocations under the indent
while transferring material to the upper surface;
dislocation density decreases in the plastic zone and
material piles up around the indent. Finally, we discuss why
a significant number of cross-slip events is expected
beneath the indent under experimental conditions and the
implications of this for work hardening during wear.},
