Pentagonal puckering in a sheet of amorphous graphene

Y. Li, F. Inam, A. Kumar +2

Ordered graphene has been extensively studied. In this paper we undertake a first density functional study of it topologically disordered analogues of graphene, in the form of a ra…

Hidden structure in amorphous solids

F. Inam, James P. Lewis, D. A. Drabold

Recent theoretical studies of amorphous silicon [Y. Pan et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 100 206403 (2008)] have revealed subtle but significant structural correlations in network topology:…

Ab initio determination of ion-traps in silver-doped chalcogenide glass

I. Chaudhuri, F. Inam, D. A. Drabold

We present a microscopic picture of silver dynamics in GeSe:Ag glass obtained from {\it ab initio} simulation. The dynamics of Ag is explored at two temperatures, 300K and 70…

Intermediate Phase in Germanium-Selenide glasses: A Theoretical and Experimental Study

F. Inam, G. Chen, D. N. Tafen +1

A theoretical and experimental study of the Intermediate Phase (IP) in GexSe1-x is presented. Based on ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) models of these glasses, a generic atomic p…

Electronic Signature of the Intermediate Phase in Ge_xSe_{1-x} Glasses: A Joint Theoretical and Experimental Study

F. Inam, G. Chen, D. N. Tafen +1

Raman and calorimetric studies on Ge_xSe_{1-x} glasses have provided evidence for the existence of the intermediate phase (IP) in chalcogenide and other glasses. Here, we present X…

A semi-quantitative scattering theory of amorphous materials

M. -L. Zhang, Y. Pan, F. Inam +1

It is argued that topological disorder in amorphous solids can be described by local strains related to local reference crystals and local rotations. An intuitive localization crit…
