In order to study the brittle-to-ductile transition of a strong solid, silicon was chosen as a model material. Single crystals of silicon with semielliptical surface cracks parallel to the (111) cleavage plane, introduced by indentation, were deformed by four-point bending. The brittle-to-ductile tr...
