Atomic Structure of Faceted 3 CSL Grain Boundary in Silicon: HRTEM and Ab-initio Calculation
نویسندگان
چکیده
{112} 3 CSL grain boundary in silicon was investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and ab-initio calculation. A {112} 3 CSL boundary consisted of two segments which differed in atomic structure. The segment near the connected corner to {111} 3 CSL boundary showed symmetric structure and the other long segment, being distant region from the corner, showed asymmetric structure. It was shown that the asymmetric structure is more stable than the symmetric one. In the symmetric segment a 5-fold coordinated atom presented, which elevated the structure energy of the boundary and produced a new state in the band gap. [doi:10.2320/matertrans.MD200706]

Pressure-induced structural phase transition of paracrystalline silicon
We report on the pressure-induced phase transition in a model of paracrystalline silicon ~amorphous silicon with a crystalline grain! using an ab initio constant pressure simulation technique. The paracrystalline model transforms into a high-density amorphous phase at 16 GPa with a discontinuous volume change of ;24%. The transformation of the crystalline grain begins at the boundary and procee...
متن کاملAn Ab initio and chemical shielding tensors calculations for Nucleotide 5’-Monophosphates in the Gas phase
Structural and magnetic properties of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides (CMP, UMP, dTMP, AMP, GMP, IMP) were studied at different levels of ab initio molecular orbital theory. These calculations were performed at the hartree-fock level and density functional B3LYP methods. Geometries were fully optimized by following Cs symmetry restrictions. The standard 6-31G** basis set which includes polari...

A calculation using Keating's potential gives a t vector and an atomic structure in very good agreement with Paxton and Suttonts tight binding calculation and with experimental determinations on germanium by Bourret et al. his confirms the validity...
متن کاملDevelopment of molecular dynamics methodology for simulations of hard materials
This thesis is focused on molecular dynamics simulations, both classical and ab initio. It is devoted to development of new methods and applications of molecular dynamics based techniques to a series of materials, all of which have the common property of being hard. I first study grain boundaries in diamond and apply a novel method to better explore the configurational phase space. Using this m...

The interaction of Magnesium hydrate at the phosphate oxygen atom of the pyrimidine nucleotides (CMP,UMP,dTMP) were studied at the Hartree-Fock level Theory. We used LANL2DZ basis set for Mg and 6-31g* basis set for atoms.The basis set superposition error (BSSE) begins to converge for used Method/basis set. The gauge-invariant atomic orbital (GIAO) method and the continuous-set-of-gauge-transfo...
