Abstract

Interaction between two material surfaces in a real environment is a complex process that may involve material fracture, deformation, mechanochemical interactions, and phase transformations. These processes must be considered together because of the existing synergy between them. Interaction between two material surfaces in a real environment is a complex process that may involve material fracture, deformation, mechanochemical interactions, and phase transformations. These processes must be considered together because of the existing synergy among them. This chapter reviews phase transformations in semiconductors, including pressure-induced metallization. Mechanisms of phase transformations in ceramics can be different from those in semiconductors, but pressure- or deformation-induced amorphization has been observed for both classes of materials.
