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

Cheng, G., Zhang, Y., Chang, T.-H., Liu, Q., Chen, L., Lu, W. D., … Zhu, Y. (2019, July 17). Nano Letters, Vol. 19, pp. 5327–5334.

author keywords: Brittle to ductile transition; dislocation; plasticity; silicon nanowire; in situ TEM
topics (OpenAlex): Nanowire Synthesis and Applications; Microstructure and mechanical properties; Semiconductor materials and interfaces
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.
