“…In this way, it not only overcomes the limits of purely continuum-based tools but also overcomes those of other hybrid FEM-KMC approaches, which either lack self-consistent information exchange between the two frameworks or are limited to defect-free LA simulations of silicon without any superlattice formulation . In particular, we demonstrate the method by focusing on ultraviolet nanosecond-pulsed-LA processes of SiGe, an alloy with composition-dependent electronic and optical properties − increasingly relevant to future nanoelectronic, ,,− thermoelectronic, optoelectronic, ,, and quantum technologies. ,− The multiscale methodology provides unique atomistic insights into the complex and ultrafast morphological, compositional, and structural transformations of SiGe during laser irradiation, ,,, giving invaluable support to process engineers aiming at the exploitation of this material’s full potential.…”
