Hydrogen reverses the clustering tendency of carbon in amorphous silicon oxycarbide

Journal Article Ding, Hepeng ; Demkowicz, Michael J. - Scientific Reports

Amorphous silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) is of great technological interest. However, its atomic-level structure is not well understood. Using density functional theory calculations, we show that the clustering tendency of C atoms in SiOC is extremely sensitive to hydrogen (H): without H, the C-C interaction is attractive, leading to enrichment of aggregated SiC₄ tetrahedral units; with hydrogen, the C-C interaction is repulsive, leading to enrichment of randomly distributed SiCO₃ tetrahedral units. Our results suggest that conflicting experimental characterizations of C distributions may be due to differing amounts of H present in the samples investigated.

Helium Irradiation and Implantation Effects on the Structure of Amorphous Silicon Oxycarbide

Journal Article Su, Qing ; Inoue, Shinsuke ; Ishimaru, Manabu ; ... - Scientific Reports

Despite recent interest in amorphous ceramics for a variety of nuclear applications, many details of their structure before and after irradiation/implantation remain unknown. Here we investigated the short-range order of amorphous silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) alloys by using the atomic pair-distribution function (PDF) obtained from electron diffraction. The PDF results show that the structure of SiOC alloys are nearly unchanged after both irradiation up to 30 dpa and He implantation up to 113 at%. TEM characterization shows no sign of crystallization, He bubble or void formation, or segregation in all irradiated samples. Irradiation results in a decreased number of Si-O bondsmore »« less

Hydrogen enhances the radiation resistance of amorphous silicon oxycarbides

Journal Article Ding, Hepeng ; Demkowicz, Michael J. - Acta Materialia

We use first principles molecular dynamics to investigate unit displacement processes in amorphoussilicon oxycarbides (SiOC) and demonstrate that the introduction of hydrogen (H) into these materialsenhances their radiation resistance. Our simulations show that 100 eV knock-ons in H-free SiOC redistribute C through the formation of CeO and CeC bonds. H counteracts this trend by passivating dangling O bonds and preventing C from coming out of solution. This effect arises from the exceptionally high mobility of H, which leads to the saturation of radiation-induced O and C radicals even before the thermal-spike induced by a high-energy knock-on dies down.
