The Brittle to Ductile Transition and the core structures of dislocations in silicon — •Jacques Rabier — Institut Pprime, DPMM, UPR 3346 CNRS-Université de Poitiers-ENSMA, BP30179, F-86962 Chasseneuil Futuroscope Cedex, France

It is now admitted that perfect shuffle dislocations control the plasticity of silicon in the high stress low temperature brittle domain and dissociated glide dislocations in the high temperature low stress domain [1]. The BDT appears then relevant to the transition between these two domains of plasticity. Unlike dissociated glide dislocations, core computations of perfect dislocations show that various core configurations can exist for a given dislocation. Some of these cores are sessile and differently from metals, these sessile dislocations cannot be mobilized under stress promoting the nucleation of crack [2]. Concurrently TEM experiments have shown that perfect dislocations nucleated in the brittle domain possess very efficient pinning points the density of which increases with temperature [2], [3]. Those pinning points appear to be intrinsic and relevant to some parts of sessile perfect dislocation cores. This induces a shut off of the perfect dislocations sources and a severe discontinuity in the apparent mobility of available dislocations close to the BDT, the consequences of which will be discussed.
