M. Baleva et al., Distribution of the crystal modifications in polymorphous PbSe films revealed by microhardness measurements, J MATER SCI, 34(4), 1999, pp. 795-799
Microhardness measurements of homogeneous and layered polymorphous PbSe fil
ms as well of the KCl and BaF2 substrates on which the films were deposited
were undertaken. The interpretation of the experimental results lead to a
formula describing more adequately the indentation size effect. It is also
shown that an extremum in the microhardness depth profile appears whenever
the indentor crosses an interface. (C) 1999 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
