In Situ Nano-thermomechanical Experiment Reveals Brittle to Ductile Transition in Silicon Nanowires

NANO LETTERS, 19(8), 5327–5334.

author keywords: Brittle to ductile transition; dislocation; plasticity; silicon nanowire; in situ TEM
TL;DR: In situ high resolution TEM imaging and atomistic reaction pathway modeling reveal that the unconventional ½〈110〉{001} dislocations become highly active with increasing temperature and thus play a critical role in the formation of deformation bands, leading to transition from brittle fracture to dislocation-mediated failure in Si nanowires at elevated temperatures.

Contributors: G. Cheng n, C. Miao*, Q. Qin n, J. Li n, F. Xu n, H. Haftbaradaran*, E. Dickey n, H. Gao*, Y. Zhu n

TL;DR: It is shown that single-crystalline ZnO and p-doped Si nanowires can exhibit anelastic behaviour that is up to four orders of magnitude larger than the largest anelastically observed in bulk materials, with a timescale on the order of minutes, suggesting that crystalline Nanowires with point defects are promising materials for energy damping applications.

In-situ atomic-scale observation of irradiation-induced void formation

NATURE COMMUNICATIONS, 4.

TL;DR: In-situ atomic-scale observation of the nucleation and growth of voids in hexagonal close-packed magnesium under electron irradiation shows that the initial growth in length is controlled by slow nucleation kinetics of vacancy layers on basal facets and anisotropic vacancy diffusivity, and the subsequent thickness growth is driven by thermodynamics to reduce surface energy.
