| Research Abstract |
Understanding of origin of materials fracture is the key point to prevent their damages, and also is an important subject of materials science. Through a combined study of in-situ TEM nanoindentation and advanced microscopy, we investigate the microstructure evolution of ceramics during nano-deformation, and study the mechanism of materials fracture.
There is no obvious plastic deformation during the nanoindentation of 4H-SiC. The emission of dislocation also cannot be seen. A micro-crack is formed and propagates along on the (0001) crystal plane. After unloading, dislocations are observed at the tip of the crack. It suggests that the dangling bonds on the surfaces of crack rebound and the healing of crack take place. Effects of grain boundaries on the mechanical properties of cubic BN have been studied. It is found that Sigma9 and sigma3 GBs of cubic BN are inclined to trap oxygen, which lowers the GB adhesion energies significantly, and greatly reduces the hardness of cubic BN.
