Low-Energy Ion Irradiated Silicon Nanowires: Anomalous Plastic Deformation

摘要

We adopted the verified transition state theory, which originates from the quantum chemistry approach to explain the anomalous plastic flow or plastic deformation for Si nanowires irradiated with 100?keV (at room temperature regime) Ar ~( + ) ions as well as the observed amorphization along the Si nanowire (Johannes, et al. 2015, “Anomalous Plastic Deformation and Sputtering of Ion Irradiated Silicon Nanowires,” Nano Lett., 15, pp. 3800–3807). We shall illustrate some formulations which can help us calculate the temperature-dependent viscosity of flowing Si in nanodomains.
