N2 - This paper discusses applications of spherical nanoindentation stress-strain curves in characterizing the local mechanical behavior of materials with modified surfaces. Using ion-irradiated tungsten as a specific example, this paper demonstrates that a simple variation of the indenter size (radius) can identify the depth of the radiation-induced-damage zone, as well as quantify the behavior of the damaged zone itself. Using corresponding local structure information from electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) we look at (a) the elastic response, elasto-plastic transition, and onset of plasticity in ion-irradiated tungsten, zirconium and 304 stainless steel under indentation, and compare their relative mechanical behavior to the unirradiated state, (b) correlating these changes to the different grain orientations as a function of (c) irradiation from different sources (such as He, W, and He+W for tungsten samples).
