Abstract

Mode I cracks introduced in Si at the ductile-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) have been examined extensively using transmission electron microscopy. Cross-sectional as well as plane-view specimens suitable for the observation were prepared using a focused ion beam technique. Many small dislocation loops nucleate at the fracture surface of a mode I crack during the propagation at DBTT.
