Abstract
Microstructures associated with Knoop indentations on the (001) and (011) planes of single crystals of InP were evaluated_by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that different {111} 〈1¯1 0〉 slip systems are activated depending on the crystallographic direction along which the long axis of Knoop indentor is aligned. A simple explanation is developed which makes it possible to rationalize the observed slip systems and the hardness anisotropy of InP.
