Effects of Cutoff Functions of Tersoff Potentials on Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Thermal Transport
X. W. Zhou, R. E. Jones
Past molecular dynamics studies of thermal transport have predominantly used Stillinger-Weber potentials. As materials continuously shrink, their properties increasingly depend on…
An analytical law for size effects on thermal conductivity of nanostructures
X. W. Zhou, R. E. Reese
The thermal conductivity of a nanostructure is sensitive to its dimensions. A simple analytical scaling law that predicts how conductivity changes with the dimensions of the struct…
Defect formation dynamics during CdTe overlayer growth
J. J. Chavez, D. K. Ward, B. M. Wong +7
The presence of atomic-scale defects at multilayer interfaces significantly degrades performance in CdTe-based photovoltaic technologies. The ability to accurately predict and unde…
High-fidelity simulations of CdTe vapor deposition from a new bond-order potential-based molecular dynamics method
X. W. Zhou, D. Ward, B. M. Wong +8
CdTe has been a special semiconductor for constructing the lowest-cost solar cells and the CdTe-based Cd1-xZnxTe alloy has been the leading semiconductor for radiation detection ap…
Melt-growth dynamics in CdTe crystals
X. W. Zhou, D. K. Ward, B. M. Wong +1
We use a new, quantum-mechanics-based bond-order potential (BOP) to reveal melt-growth dynamics and fine-scale defect formation mechanisms in CdTe crystals. Previous molecular dyna…
