| Popis: | Generally, hard ceramic carbide particles, such as B4C and TiC, are angulated, and particle size control below the micrometer scale is difficult owing to their hardness. However, submicrometer particles (SMPs) with spherical shape can be experimentally fabricated, even for hard carbides, via instantaneous pulsed laser heating of raw particles dispersed in a liquid (pulsed laser melting in liquid). The spherical shape of the particles is important for mechanical applications as it can directly transfer the mechanical force without any loss from one side to the other. To evaluate the potential of such particles for mechanical applications, SMPs were compressed on various substrates using a diamond tip in a scanning electron microscope. The mechanical behaviors of SMPs were then examined from the obtained load–displacement curves. Particles were fractured on hard substrates, such as SiC, and fracture strength was estimated to be in the GPa range, which is larger than their corresponding bulk bending strength and is 10–40% of their ideal strength, as calculated using the density-functional theory. Contrarily, particles can be embedded into soft substrates, such as Si and Al, and the local hardness of the substrate can be estimated from the load–displacement curves as a nanoscale Brinell hardness measurement. |
