Abstract
A technique is described to measure the rotations of the crystal lattice in the deformed region around a nanoindent from volumes smaller than 3 × 10−5 μm3. To demonstrate this method, a copper crystal has been indented on its (001) face to depths of 500 and 1300 nm. Cross-sections of nanoindents were prepared for transmission electron microscopy by focused ion beam milling, and rotations were measured about the [001], [010] and [100] axes using convergent beam electron diffraction.
