Summary: | The deformation structure of an yttrium oxide single crystal under point load was studied by microhardness and electron microscopy. It was concluded that mechanical twinning is the main mechanism of plastic deformation of these single crystals. A twin was simulated by rotating the structure around the three-fold axis. It was shown that the average change of the distance between anions was about 5% and that between cations was 15%. The comparison with the structure of the regions of the fluorite single crystals and optical ceramics deformed in the analogous manner was performed. |
