The influence of defects on the thermal conductivity of compressed LiF

Reese E. Jones, Donald K. Ward

Defect formation in LiF, which is used as an observation window in ramp and shock experi- ments, has significant effects on its transmission properties. Given the extreme condition…

Estimates of crystalline LiF thermal conductivity at high temperature and pressure by a Green-Kubo method

R. E. Jones, D. K. Ward

Given the unique optical properties of LiF, it is often used as an observation window in high-temperature and pressure experiments; and, hence, estimates of its transmission proper…

Influence of ensemble boundary conditions (thermostat and barostat) on the deformation of amorphous polyethylene by molecular dynamics

M. A. Tschopp, J. L. Bouvard, D. K. Ward +2

Molecular dynamics simulations are increasingly being used to investigate the structural evolution of polymers during mechanical deformation, but relatively few studies focus on th…

Molecular Dynamics Studies of Dislocations in CdTe Crystals from a New Bond Order Potential

X. W. Zhou, D. K. Ward, B. M. Wong +2

Cd1-xZnxTe (CZT) crystals are the leading semiconductors for radiation detection, but their application is limited by the high cost of detector-grade materials. High crystal costs…

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…
