摘要
利用低载荷Vickers压痕的方法在GaAs单晶中诱发微裂纹,通过透射电子显微镜和高分辨电子显微镜对裂纹尖端进行了观察.结果表明,裂纹尖端前沿诱发了位错;沿着裂纹扩展方向出现了晶格扭曲,进而产生局部的无序化结构;无序化结构的扩大与连接形成具有1-2nm宽度的非晶窄带.裂纹在非晶窄带中萌生,并沿着非晶带扩展.弯曲的裂纹表面和具有一定宽度的裂纹尖端说明,裂纹的扩展并不是沿着某特定的原子面原子键脱开,而是在非晶窄带中由结合键较弱的原子之间的断键并相互连接的结果.
The structures of the crack-tip induced during indentation in gallium arsenide single crystal have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM). The results reveal that there are dislocation generation, lattice distortion, and even change of lattice from crystal to disordered structure, leading to the occurrence of an amorphous narrow band with a width of 1-2 nm in front of crack-tip. The crack is not atomically sharp, and its propagation is the result of the decohesive between atoms in the amorphous narrow band.
