Atomistic Study of Crack-Tip Cleavage to Dislocation Emission Transition in Silicon Single Crystals

Atomistic Study of Crack-Tip Cleavage to Dislocation Emission Transition in Silicon Single Crystals

At low temperatures silicon is a brittle material that shatters catastrophically, whereas at elevated temperatures, the behavior of silicon changes drastically over a narrow temperature range and suddenly becomes ductile. This brittle-to-ductile transition has been observed in experimental studies,...
