Tight-Binding Molecular Dynamics Simulations on Point Defects Diffusion and Interactions in Crystalline Silicon
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
Tight-binding molecular dynamics (TBMD) simulations are performed (i) to evaluate the formation and binding energies of point defects and defect clusters, (ii) to compute the diffusivity of self-interstitial and vacancy in crystalline silicon, and (iii) to characterize the diffusion path and mechanism at the atomistic level. In addition, the interaction between individual defects and their clustering is investigated.
