Abstract

It is shown that indentation-induced formation of hexagonal silicon at the temperature range 400–700°C is fully consistent with its occurence via a martensitic transformation. After presenting HREM images of hexagonal ribbons in a diamond cubic matrix, a crystallographic analysis of the phase transformation is given, and a dislocation mechanism responsible for the transformation is discussed.
