O polycrystalline powders with 0 x 0.12 were prepared by solgel method. Structural properties reveal single phase wurtzite structure for x 0.03 beyond which structural complexities arise. Micro hardness decreases
with increase in Si content. Micro-hardness test reveals Indentation Size Effect. The experimental results were analysed using the Meyers law, Proportional Specimen Resistance (PSR), Elastic/Plastic Deformation (EPD) models and Hays-Kendall approach. The Indentation Size Effect was
also observed.",
