Deformation induced complete amorphization at nanoscale in a bulk silicon

Solid state amorphization is induced by shock, irradiation and deformation, while deformation induced complete amorphization remains a challenge in a bulk solid. Brittle-to-ductile transition (BDT) mechanism is elusive at loading speeds of m/s at nanoscale depth of cut. Existing formula has no effec...
