Phase transition plasticity in silicon nanospheres
We present a microscopic description for the response of crystalline Si nanospheres up to 10 nm in radius for various uniaxial compression levels. The behavior at low compressions closely resembles the Hertzian predictions. At higher compressions the creation of a new β-tin phase in the particle core leads to (i) volumetric changes (ii) an increase in elastic moduli, and (iii) significant harde...
متن کاملLiquid-liquid phase transition in Stillinger-Weber silicon
It was recently demonstrated that the Stillinger-Weber silicon undergoes a liquidliquid first-order phase transition deep into the supercooled region (Sastry and Angell, Nature Materials 2, 739 (2003)). Here we study the effects of perturbations on this phase transition. We show that the order of the liquid-liquid transition changes with negative pressure. We also find that the liquid-liquid tr...
متن کاملPressure-induced structural phase transition of paracrystalline silicon
We report on the pressure-induced phase transition in a model of paracrystalline silicon ~amorphous silicon with a crystalline grain! using an ab initio constant pressure simulation technique. The paracrystalline model transforms into a high-density amorphous phase at 16 GPa with a discontinuous volume change of ;24%. The transformation of the crystalline grain begins at the boundary and procee...
متن کاملPolymorphism in glassy silicon: Inherited from liquid-liquid phase transition in supercooled liquid
Combining molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and Voronoi polyhedral analyses, we discussed the microstructure evolution in liquid and glassy silicon during cooling by focusing on the fraction of various clusters. Liquid-liquid phase transition (LLPT) is detected in supercooled liquid silicon However, freezing the high-density liquid (HDL) to the glassy state is not achieved as the quenching rat...
متن کاملtemperature dependence of phase transformation pressure in silicon
in this experimental work the pressure induced phase transformation of silicon and germaniumhas been studied. it was shown that at a particular value of applied pressure, (pt), depending on the sampletemperature, the electrical resistance of the specimen falls off to a metallic state. the main goal of this studywas to find out how the phase transformation pressure, pt, for a p-type silicon vari...
