(a) Simulation of the indentation of a 12.1 nm high gold nanoparticle by a cube-corner indenter. (b), (c) Atomistic configuration at the initial state and corresponding CXD pattern (see text for more details) The dislocations are shown in grey. (d), (e) Gold nanoparticle after 650 000 indentation steps (t = 3.25 ns) and calculated CXD pattern. (f), (g) Gold nanoparticle after 850 000 indentation steps (t = 4.25 ns) and calculated CXD pattern. (h), (i) Gold nanoparticle at t = 5 ns and corresponding CXD pattern. (j), (k) Gold nanoparticle at the final stages of indentation (t = 6 ns) and corresponding CXD pattern. The selected area of the reciprocal space is kept to the same value in all figures and is equal to 0.08 × 0.12 Å−1.
