== Exceptional ductility of α-Ag<sub>2</sub>S ==
Relative to most inorganic materials, α-Ag<sub>2</sub>S displays exceptional ductility at room temperature.<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal |last=Chen |first=Lidong |year=2018 |title=Room-temperature ductile inorganic semiconductor |url=https://www.nature.com/articles/s41563-018-0047-z |journal=Nature Materials |volume=17 |pages=421-426}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Chen |first=Lidong |title=Flexible thermoelectrics based on ductile semiconductors |url=https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/science.abq0682 |journal=Science |volume=377 |issue=6608 |pages=854-858}}</ref> This material can undergo extensive deformation, akin to metals, without fracturing. Such behavior is evident in various mechanical tests; for instance, α-Ag2S can be easily machined into cylindrical or bar shapes and can withstand substantial deformation under compression, three-point bending, and tensile stresses. The material sustains over 50% engineering strain in compression tests and up to 20% or more in bending tests.<ref name=":1" />

The intrinsic ductility of alpha-phase silver sulfide (α-Ag<sub>2</sub>S) is underpinned by its unique structural and chemical bonding characteristics. At the atomic level, its monoclinic crystal structure, which remains stable up to 451 K, enables the movement of atoms and dislocations along well-defined crystallographic planes known as slip planes. Additionally, the dynamic bonding within the crystal structure supports both the sliding of atomic layers and the maintenance of material integrity during deformation. The interatomic forces within the slip planes are sufficiently strong to prevent the material from cleaving while still allowing for considerable flexibility.<ref name=":1" /> Further insights into α-Ag<sub>2</sub>S's ductility come from density functional theory calculations, which reveal that the primary slip planes align with the direction and slipping occurs along the direction. This arrangement permits atoms to glide over each other under stress through minute adjustments in the interlayer distances, which are energetically favorable as indicated by low slipping energy barriers (ΔE<sub>B</sub>) and high cleavage energies (ΔE<sub>C</sub>). These properties ensure significant deformation capability without fracture. Silver and sulfur atoms in α-Ag<sub>2</sub>S form transient, yet robust interactions that enable the material to retain its integrity while deforming. This behavior is akin to that of metals, where dislocations move with relative ease, providing α-Ag<sub>2</sub>S with a unique combination of flexibility and strength, making it exceptionally resistant to cracking under mechanical stress.<ref name=":1" />
