Summary
Transmission electron microscopy observations of deformation after spherical indentation of polycrystalline monazite (LaPO4) and scheelite (CaWO4) are presented and discussed. Deformation mechanisms in monazite include extensive microcracking by cleavage, dislocation plasticity, and twinning. Similar mechanisms were observed in scheelite, except no twinning was found. Observations of deformation in monazite fiber coatings after fiber push-out at room temperature are also presented. A thin layer of monazite next to the fiber was heavily deformed and recrystallized.
