Virtual melting and cyclic transformations between amorphous Si, Si I, and Si IV in a shear band at room temperature

Abstract Virtual melting (VM) as alternative deformation and stress relaxation mechanisms under extreme load is directly validated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the simple shear of single crystal Si I at a temperature 1383 K below the melting temperature. The shear band consisting of liq...
