Abstract

We introduce an analytical technique for time-dependent deformation behavior of the polycrystalline films using a nano-indenter. This technique permits evaluation of structural deformation of the nanometer scale of the thin films. In this paper, good accuracy conditions were determined to measure deformation behavior of the polycrystalline films. The polycrystalline films of anatase were used to investigate the grain boundary structure. We prove that the analysis of time-dependent deformation behavior is effective to investigate the structure of the polycrystalline films.
