Abstract:
The present invention provides a self-healing method for fractured SiC amorphous nanowires. A goat hair in a Chinese brush pen of goat hair moves and transfers single crystal nanowires under an optical microscope. On an in-situ nanomechanical test system of a TEM, local single crystal nanowires are irradiated with an electron beam for conducting amorphization transformation. Amorphous length of a single crystal after transformation is 60-100 nm. A fracture strength test is conducted on the amorphous nanowires in the single crystal after transformation in the TEM; and fracture strength of the amorphous nanowires is 9-11 GPa. After the amorphous nanowires are fractured, unloading causes a slight contact between the fractured end surfaces; and self-healing of the nanowires is conducted after waiting for 16-25 min in a vacuum chamber of the TEM. Atom diffusion is found at a healed fracture through in-situ TEM representation; and recrystallization is found in the amorphous nanowires. The present invention provides a method for realizing self-healing for fractured SiC amorphous nanowires without external intervention.
