Direct atomistic simulation of brittle-to-ductile transition in silicon single crystals

Silicon is an important material not only for semiconductor applications, but also for the development of novel bioinspired and biomimicking materials and structures or drug delivery systems in the context of nanomedicine. For these applications, a thorough understanding of the fracture behavior of...
