Which outcome arises when hydrostatic stress exceeds a critical threshold in crystalline silicon?

💡 Explanation

Hydrostatic stress causing dislocation occurs due to exceeding the yield strength; the mechanism is plastic deformation. Because this involves nucleation of dislocation loops therefore slip occurs, rather than purely elastic deformation or changes in electronic properties at lower stress.
