Abstract: Phase transformation of single crystal silicon (Si) was investigated under various grinding conditions using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Nanocrystals with sizes ranging from 6 to 20 nm of diamond cubic silicon (Si-I) and high-pressure phase (Si-III) were observed in the grinding-induced amorphous Si layers. The phase transformation pattern was found to be influenced by the thermal status involved in the grinding processes. (C) 2010 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
