A simple continuum model for boron clustering based on atomistic calculations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Boron exhibits anomalous diffusion during the initial phases of ion implant annealing. Boron transient enhanced diffusion is characterized by enhanced tail diffusion coupled with an electrically inactive immobile peak. The immobile peak is due to clustering of boron in the presence of excess interstitials which also enhance boron diffusion in the tail region. We present a simple model for the formation of immobile boron interstitial clusters and associated point defect interactions derived based on atomistic calculations. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1352576#

A Continuum Model For Stone-wales Defected Carbon Nanotubes
In this paper, a continuum model is proposed so that a Stone-Wales (SW) defected carbon nanotube (CNT) is replaced by an initial circumferential crack in a continuum cylindrical shell. For this purpose, the critical energy release rate and then the fracture toughness of a defected CNT are calculated using the results of an existing atomistic-based continuum finite element simulation. Finally, t...

متن کاملPhysical modeling of Fermi-level effects for decanano device process simulations
We report on a physically-based Fermi-level modeling approach designed to be accurate and yet amenable to be implemented in a device-size process simulator. We use an atomistic kinetic Monte Carlo method in conjunction with a continuum treatment for carrier densities. The model includes (i) charge reactions and electric bias according to the local Fermi-level, (ii) pairing and break-up reaction...
متن کاملStudy of Stone-wales Defect on Elastic Properties of Single-layer Graphene Sheets by an Atomistic based Finite Element Model
In this paper, an atomistic based finite element model is developed to investigate the influence of topological defects on mechanical properties of graphene. The general in-plane stiffness matrix of the hexagonal network structure of graphene is found. Effective elastic modulus of a carbon ring is determined from the equivalence of molecular potential energy related to stretch and angular defor...
