Simulating the structure of amorphous Si0.5C0.5 using Lin–Harris molecular dynamics

Abstract: We have amorphised Si 0.5 C 0.5 by ab initio generating random networks with the experimental density of 2.75 g/cm 3 . Two types of crystalline supercells were used at the start: one was a diamond-like periodic supercell of 64 atoms, containing 32 carbons and 32 silicons, chemically ordered, amorphised using Fast Structure w , and the other was an fcc crystalline periodic supercell with 108 atoms, 54 carbons and 54 silicons, chemically ordered, amorphised using DMol 3 from the suite in Materials Studio 3.2 w .… Show more

“…In the present work we applied a variant of a previously used ab initio approach which has been demonstrated to lead to good results for semiconducting amorphous structures [10][11][12] and metallic structures such as amorphous and liquid aluminum [1,13]: the undermelt-quench approach. We report the corresponding total and partial radial (pair) distribution functions (PDFs) in order to study the atomic arrangement in each supercell.…”

“…In the present work we have applied two variants of an ab initio process which has demonstrated to lead to good results for semiconducting amorphous structures [21][22][23][24][25][26][27] and metallic structures such as amorphous and liquid aluminum [28,29], the undermelt-quench approach, to generate amorphous and liquid Cu x Zr 100 À x (x ¼64, 50, 36) alloys. We report the corresponding total and partial pair distribution functions (PDF & pPDFs) in order to study the atomic environment in each phase.…”
