Microhardness Anisotropy and the Indentation Size Effect in Single Crystal Magnesium Fluoride, MgF2
Lei Zhang & Richard C. Bradt · Physical Science International Journal · 2013
The Knoop microhardness anisotropy profile was determined on the (001) of MgF2 which has microhardness maxima in the <110> and minima in the <100>. This anisotropy is the same as TiO2 and SnO2 which also have the rutile crystal structure. This indicates that the slip...
