Inorganic semiconductors have been considered to be brittle at room temperature generally, but recently zinc sulfide (ZnS), a II–VI compound semiconductor, was found to exhibit extraordinarily large plasticity even at room temperature if it was deformed in darkness. Room‐temperature plastic deformation can achieve high density of glide dislocations in the crystal without significantly changing the...
