1 Indentation of Silicon: Phase Transition? Kallman et al., Phys. Rev. B. 47, 7705 (1993). Smith et al., Acta. Mater. 49, 4089 (2001). MD: NVT 350,000 atoms Cut away of crystalline Si indented with a tetrahedral indenter. FOCUS: MD simulations to elucidate 2 phase transitions of Si; diamond β-sn (exp), diamond thermodynamically unfavorable amorphous phase. Many-body Si potential used, was developed by Stillinger and Weber (Phys. Rev. B 31, (1985)) CONCL: Although amorphous Si did not undergo phase transition to solid, crystalline Si amorphous phase near the indenter, No transition to β-sn. Lower yield strengths near melting temp and slow indentation speeds. See also: MD using Stillinger/Weber: Gannepalli & Mallapragada, Nanotechnology. 12, 250 (2001). Indentation of Silicon: Phase Transition? Cheong & Zhang, Nanotechnology. 11, 173 (2000). MD: NVT v=40 m/s Si: Tersoff, Phys.Rev. Lett. 56, 632 (1986); Phys Rev. B. 39, 5566 (1989). Tip-Substrate: Morse potential

2 Indentation of Silicon: Phase Transition? Cheong & Zhang, Nanotechnology. 11, 173 (2000). Blue = cubic Si (4 neighbors) Red = β-si (6 neighbors) EXP: Pharr et al., J. Mater. Res. 6, 1129 (1991). Indentation of Silicon: Phase Transition? Cheong & Zhang, Nanotechnology. 11, 173 (2000). Flattening of Tetrahedron upon indentation withdrawal of tip leads to amorphous phase repeated indentation leads to a mixture of the β (distorted) and amorphous phases β-sn
