Abstract
Indentation was used to analyze high pressure phases of silicon. Phase transformations on both loading time and loading rate were studied. Micro-raman spectroscopy was used to observe the indentation-induced transformations. As the loading time increased, Si-III and Si-XII disappeared and only a-Si was observed in (111) samples. As the loading time increased, the residual stress was removed by creation of cracks or dislocations. At 0.1 mm/min loading rate, pop-in . At 5 mm/min loading rate pop-in was observed in force/displacement curve of (111) sample, but pop-in was not observed in force/displacement curve of (100) sample. This result indicates that the loading rate affects the volume of phase transformation in silicon.
