Silicon self-interstitial clusters

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20015011

A tight-binding molecular dynamics investigation on the structure and energetics of self-interstitial clusters in silicon is presented. The authors discuss how a small number of self-interstitial atoms give rise to the formation of tetrahedrally-shaped clusters, while a larger number of defects exhibit a self-organization mechanism driving the system to form rod-like defects.
