Abstract

We give a brief description of the various classes of molecular dynamics simulations and then describe what we have learned from our simulations recently. This includes information on the nature of defects in a-Si:H including positions in the energy gap and localization, relaxation and rearrangement effects, light induced defects, and the motion of H atoms and Si dangling bonds.
