Crystallization of amorphous silicon induced by mechanical shear deformations
Ali Kerrache, Normand Mousseau, Laurent J. Lewis
We have investigated the response of amorphous silicon (a-Si), in particular crystallization, to external mechanical shear deformations using classical molecular dynamics (MD) simu…
Amorphous silicon under mechanical shear deformations: shear velocity and temperature effects
Ali Kerrache, Normand Mousseau, Laurent J. Lewis
Mechanical shear deformations lead, in some cases, to effects similar to those resulting from ion irradiation. Here we characterize the effects of shear velocity and temperature on…
Molecular Dynamics Computer Simulation of Crystal Growth and Melting in Al50Ni50
Ali Kerrache, Juergen Horbach, Kurt Binder
The melting and crystallization of Al50Ni50} are studied by means of molecular dynamics computer simulations, using a potential of the embedded atom type to model the interactions…
