Nucleation and crystallization process of silicon using Stillinger-Weber potential
Philippe Beaucage, Normand Mousseau
We study the homogeneous nucleation process in Stillinger-Weber silicon in the NVT ensemble. A clear first-order transition from the liquid to crystal phase is observed thermodynam…

Liquid-liquid phase transition in Stillinger-Weber silicon
Philippe Beaucage, Normand Mousseau
It was recently demonstrated that the Stillinger-Weber silicon undergoes a liquid-liquid first-order phase transition deep into the supercooled region (Sastry and Angell, Nature Ma…
