Nonequilibrium dynamics in amorphous Si3B3N7.
We present extensive numerical investigations of the structural relaxation dynamics of a realistic model of the amorphous high-temperature ceramic a-Si3B3N7, probing the mean-square displacement of the atoms, the bond survival probability, the average energy, the specific heat, and the two-point energy average. Combining the information from these different sources, we identify a transition tem...
متن کاملDefects in Amorphous Semiconductors: Amorphous Silicon
Defects in disordered (amorphous) semiconductors are discussed, with an emphasis on hydrogenated amorphous silicon. The general differences between defect phenomena in crystalline and amorphous hosts are described, and the special importance of the electron–phonon coupling is stressed. Detailed calculations for amorphous Si are presented using accurate first principles (density-functional) tech...
متن کاملNonequilibrium dynamics in an amorphous solid.
The nonequilibrium dynamics of an amorphous solid is studied with a soft-spin model. We show that the aging behavior in the glassy state follows a modified Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts form similar to that obtained in Lunkenheimer [Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 055702 (2005)] from analysis of the dielectric loss data. The nature of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem violation is also studied in time as we...
متن کاملAmorphous nucleation precursor in highly nonequilibrium fluids.
Dynamical density-functional simulations reveal structural aspects of crystal nucleation in undercooled liquids: The first appearing solid is amorphous, which promotes the nucleation of bcc crystals but suppresses the appearance of the fcc and hcp phases. These findings are associated with features of the effective interaction potential deduced from the amorphous structure.
متن کاملEquilibrium or nonequilibrium pH.
TO THE EDITOR: pH was predicted based on preequilibrium quantities. I show here that Stewart and an equivalent formula published in 1990 by Herman et al. (2) can predict the measured pH equally well, but much easier from these initial values. However, clarification is needed on exactly how these preequilibrium values were obtained. In their recent paper, Nguyen and co-workers set out to predict...
