16. The independence of the elastic-plastic threshold on the loading rate indicates negligible creep effects at room temperature in KDP and DKDP. It should be noted that measurable loading rate effects have been observed in previous room-temperature nanoindentation studies of other insulators and semiconductors (Refs. 17 and 18).

21. Note that the contact diameters at maximum loads of 0.6, 1.0, and 2.0 mN are ∼0.8, 1.1, and 1.5 μm, respectively. Hence, the size of the residual impressions, measured by SPM (see Fig. 2), is close to the contact diameter at the maximum load.
