Figure Lengend Snippet: Distribution diagrams of volumetric strain of 6 + 0, 6 + 2, 6 + 4 and 6 + 6 composite films at 8 Å indentation depth. Blue and red in the color bars represent compressive and tensile strains, respectively.
Article Snippet: In order to explain the different mechanical responses of the combined films under nanoindentation loading conditions from the atomic level, we also extracted the volumetric strain distribution maps of composite films with different combinations under the same indentation depth in OVITO, and the composite film model that had been well relaxed before indenter contact was selected as the reference configuration.
