The brittle-ductile transition in silicon. I. experiments

The experiments described in this paper investigate the fundamental processes involved in the brittle-ductile transition (BDT) in silicon, and form the basis of a new theoretical model (see following paper). The fracture (or bending) stresses of four-point bend specimens of silicon containing semici...
