Molecular dynamics simulation of plasticity in VN(001) crystals under nanoindentation with a spherical indenter

•MD simulations of indentation are performed to uncover deformation mechanism in VN.•The dislocation flower and four kinds of dislocation loops are observed in VN.•The evolution of partial dislocations is the main mechanism in VN at initial stage.•The formation of the dislocation flower and dislocat...
