Room temperature deformation of 6H–SiC single crystals investigated by micropillar compression

Researchers studied the deformation of silicon carbide crystals at the microscale, finding that both slip and fracture occur at room temperature under very high stress. This materials science research is unrelated to microplastics but contributes to understanding how materials fragment under mechanical stress.
