Hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride: Structural and electronic properties

Conference Justo, J F ; De Brito Mota, F ; Fazzio, A

The authors combined empirical and ab initio methods to study structural and electronic properties of amorphous silicon nitride. For such study, they developed an interatomic potential to describe the interactions between silicon, nitrogen, and hydrogen atoms. Using this potential, the authors performed Monte Carlo simulations in a simulated annealing scheme to study structural properties of amorphous silicon nitride. Then this potential was used to generate relevant structure of a-SiN{sub x}:H{sub y} which were input configurations to ab initio calculations. The authors investigated the electronic and structural role played by hydrogen incorporation in amorphous silicon nitride.
Thermal cycling effects on dynamic mechanical properties and crystallographic structures of silicon nitride-based structural ceramics

Journal Article Yang, S ; Gibson, R F ; Crosbie, G M ; ... - Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power

Thermal cycling effects on dynamic mechanical properties of hot pressed silicon nitride (HPSN) based structural ceramics were investigated in a simulated thermal cycling environment from room temperature up to 1,100 C. Two monolithic silicon nitrides and two silicon nitride composites reinforced with silicon carbide whiskers were studied in such an environment. Experiments show that the dynamic mechanical properties of the tested materials are influenced by thermal cycle. The materials stiffened slightly while damping capacity decreased slightly during each thermal cycle. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was subsequently used to examine the corresponding crystallographic alterations. The XRD patterns show that the amorphous glassmore »« less

A STUDY OF THE HANDLING, THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF SILICON NITRIDE WHISKERS

The structure and physical properties of paracrystalline atomistic models of amorphous silicon.

Journal Article Voyles, P M ; Zotov, N ; Nakhmanson, S M ; ... - J. Appl. Phys.

We have examined the structure and physical properties of paracrystalline molecular dynamics models of amorphous silicon. Simulations from these models show qualitative agreement with the results of recent mesoscale fluctuation electron microscopy experiments on amorphous silicon and germanium. Such agreement is not found in simulations from continuous random network models. The paracrystalline models consist of topologically crystalline grains which are strongly strained and a disordered matrix between them. We present extensive structural and topological characterization of the medium range order present in the paracrystalline models and examine their physical properties, such as the vibrational density of states, Raman spectra, andmore »« less
