Title: Plastic Deformation of Silicon Between 20 degrees C and 425 Degrees C

Journal Article · · Physica Status Solidi C

Mechanical data have been obtained on silicon single crystal under hydrostatic pressure between room temperature and 450 {sup o}C. This temperature domain corresponds to the regime where perfect dislocations control plastic deformation. This was achieved using a D-DIA apparatus in the synchrotron beam of NSLS. Stress strain curves were deduced from X Ray diffraction and sample imaging under 5 GPa and a strain rate of 2.5 10{sup -5} s{sup -1}. Yield stresses as a function of temperature exhibit different temperature dependence when deformation is controlled by perfect dislocations.
