Nonequilibrium AuSi3 was found due to indenting contact forces at a gold and silicon interface. An in situ transmission electron microscope was used to observe interactions at the material interface during nanoindentation and to identify crystal structures. Furthermore, sliding of a gold-coated atomic-force microscope probe over a silicon substrate forms organized nanostructures. An evaluation of the observed interfacial mechanisms concluded that the contact stress triggered the phase transformation leading to the formation of a metastable interface that mediates the adhesion of contacting materials. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
