Abstract

The deformation behavior induced by Vickers indentation on (100) gallium arsenide single crystal has been investigated with high resolution electron microscopy. The results show that lots of microtwins, stacking-faults and heavy-distorted lattices were formed in indentation, and a crystalline-to-amorphous transition induced during indentation has been observed. It is possible that microtwins, stacking-faults and lattice-distortion is a middle process through which GaAs transforms from crystalline to amorphism.
