Molecular dynamics simulation of phase transformations in silicon monocrystals due to nano-indentation

TL;DR: In this article, the phase transformation of diamond cubic silicon under nano-indentation with the aid of molecular dynamics analysis using the Tersoff potential was discussed. But, the authors did not consider the effect of nanoindentations on the transition from a tetrahedron structure to an amorphous phase.
