Theoretical investigations of a highly mismatched interface: the case of SiC/Si(001)
Laurent Pizzagalli, Giancarlo Cicero, Alessandra Catellani
Using first principles, classical potentials, and elasticity theory, we investigated the structure of a semiconductor/semiconductor interface with a high lattice mismatch, SiC/Si(0…

Ab initio Study of Misfit Dislocations at the SiC/Si(001) Interface
Giancarlo Cicero, Laurent Pizzagalli, Alessandra Catellani
The high lattice mismatched SiC/Si(001) interface was investigated by means of combined classical and ab initio molecular dynamics. Among the several configurations analyzed, a dis…
