Approximate ab initio simulations of amorphous silicon and glassy chalcogenides
A classic problem of materials theory is to understand the properties of glasses and amorphous materials. Comprehension of disordered systems requires as an initial step atomistic models (coordinates of the atoms) that reproduce the known experimental features of the material. This includes structural (diffraction) information of course, but also higher-order correlations (as from new fluctuati...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation of charge transport in amorphous chalcogenides
The I(V ) characteristics of amorphous GST devices show a peculiar S-shape behavior, that is a swift rise of the current along with a voltage snap-back. This type of characteristics led to a growing research interest in view of the future application of such materials to the manufacturing of phase-change memory devices. In this work we adopt a generalization of the variable-range hopping theory...
متن کاملOrientation of (1×1)-surface free energies of crystals
The free energy of a (1×1)-surface, with no relaxation and no adsorption, is calculated using a bond-breaking mode in which the potential energy of the crystal is treated as the sum of the energy of the bonds connecting pair-wise atoms. Based on a purely geometrical model, the number of broken bonds or dangling bonds per atom is calculated on the surface of the crystal when an atomically flat p...
متن کاملSurface Free Energies and Surface Critical Behaviour of the ABF Models with Fixed Boundaries
In a previous paper, we introduced reflection equations for interaction-rounda-face (IRF) models and used these to construct commuting double-row transfer matrices for solvable lattice spin models with fixed boundary conditions. In particular, for the Andrews-Baxter-Forrester (ABF) models, we derived special functional equations satisfied by the eigenvalues of the commuting double-row transfer ...
متن کاملCalculation of binding free energies.
Molecular dynamics simulations enable access to free energy differences governing the driving force underlying all biological processes. In the current chapter we describe alchemical methods allowing the calculation of relative free energy differences. We concentrate on the binding free energies that can be obtained using non-equilibrium approaches based on the Crooks Fluctuation Theorem. Toget...
