Pressure-induced amorphization in the nanoindentation of single crystalline silicon
Large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of nanoindentation on a (100) oriented silicon surface were performed to investigate the mechanical behavior and phase transformation of single crystalline silicon. The direct crystalline-to-amorphous transformation is observed during the nanoindentation with a spherical indenter as long as the applied indentation strain or load is large enough. This a...
متن کاملIn situ observation of shear-driven amorphization in silicon crystals.
Amorphous materials are used for both structural and functional applications. An amorphous solid usually forms under driven conditions such as melt quenching, irradiation, shock loading or severe mechanical deformation. Such extreme conditions impose significant challenges on the direct observation of the amorphization process. Various experimental techniques have been used to detect how the am...
متن کاملPressure Induced Amorphization in Crystalline Silica: Soft Phonon Modes and Shear Instabilities in Coesite
Quartz and closely related materials will transform under pressure from crystalline states to amorphous forms. Here we examine coesite, a high pressure form of silica which also undergoes pressure induced amorphization. We nd that coesite, like quartz, possesses a shear instability closely coupled to a zone edge phonon softening at pressures comparable to the amorphization transformation. The c...
متن کاملPressure-induced amorphization in silicon caused by the impact of electrosprayed nanodroplets.
This Letter describes the shock-induced amorphization of single-crystal Si bombarded by nanodroplets. At impact velocities of several kilometers per second, the projectiles trigger strong compression pulses lasting tens of picoseconds. The phase transition, confirmed via transmission electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction, takes place when the projectile's stagnation pressure ...
متن کاملIrradiation-induced defect clustering and amorphization in silicon carbide
Previous computer simulations of multiple 10 keV Si cascades in 3C–SiC demonstrated that many damage-state properties exhibit relatively smooth, but noticeably different, dose dependencies. A more recent analysis of these damage-state properties, which includes additional data at low and intermediate doses, reveals more complex relationships between system energy, swelling, energy per defect, r...
