Abstract
New B–D fracture transition experiments in dislocation––free Si single crystals are described based on arrest of cleavage cracks propagating up a temperature gradient. Combined etch pitting and Berg–Barrett imaging shows that the fracture transitions are accomplished exclusively on planes with the most advantageous conditions for dislocation nucleation from crack-tip cleavage ledges.
