- and others
Molecular dynamics simulations were used to synthesize fully dense nanocrystalline silicon by crystallization from the melt. Results demonstrate that in thermodynamic equilibrium noncrystalline silicon may be treated as a two phase system composed of crystalline grain interiors connected by an amorphous intergranular phase.
