We discuss and demonstrate the application of recently developed spherical nanoindentation stress-strain protocols in characterizing the mechanical behavior of tungsten polycrystalline samples with ion-irradiated surfaces. It is demonstrated that a simple variation of the indenter size (radius) can provide valuable insights into heterogeneous characteristics of the radiation-induced-damage zone. We have also studied the effect of irradiation for the different grain orientations in the same sampl ...[more]
