Abstract:As in our previous work [1] nanoporous silicon periodic supercells with 1000 atoms but now with 80 % porosity were constructed using the Tersoff potential and our novel approach [2]. The approach consists first in constructing a crystalline diamond-like supercell with a density (volume) close to the real value, and then lowering the density by increasing the volume, subjecting the resulting periodic supercell to Tersoff-based molecular dynamics processes at a temperature of 300 K, followed by geometry relaxati… Show more
