Effect of tool angle in nanocutting of single crystal GaN using diamond cutter by Yongqiang WANG, Hao XIA, Zhihang HU, Shuaiyang ZHANG, Shaohui YIN

“…The influence of tool angles is systematically explored by simulating cutting processes with a wide range of rake angles (−18°, −12°, −6°, 6°, 12°, 18°) and flank angles (−18°, −12°, −6°, 6°, 12°, 18°). Post-simulation analysis utilizes sophisticated algorithms to dissect the deformation mechanisms: employed to identify, characterize, and quantify the evolution of dislocations, including their types (e.g., perfect dislocations, partial dislocations), Burgers vectors, and densities within the workpiece. …”
