Abstract

Scanning electron micrographs of indents in (111) silicon reveal that a thin layer of material immediately adjacent to the indenter is plastically extruded. The fact that the material can be deformed in this way indicates that it has metallic-like mechanical properties. This is presented as new evidence that a pressure-induced phase transformation to the metallic state occurs during the indentation of silicon.
