Molecular dynamics simulation of nanoindentation in cr, al layers and al/cr bilayers, using a hard spherical nanoindenter

Three-dimensional molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of a nanoindentation technique using the hard sphere method for Cr (bcc) and Al (fcc) thin films and (Cr/Al)n (n=1,2) systems were carried out. For the model implementation, Morse interatomic potential was used for describing the single crystal i...
