AbstractA new model for carbon diffusion in silicon that explains carbon diffusion during annealing at 850°C and 900°C in superlattice carbon structures grown by MBE is implemented using the Monte Carlo atomistic simulator DADOS. Carbon concentrations in the delta layers are 2×1020 cm−3, exceeding by far the solid solubility. The simple kick-out mechanism which incorporates the well established values of the product of diffusivity and equilibrium concentrations of intrinsic point defects and in-diffusion experiments of carbon in silicon does not explain the observed C diffusion profiles. A more detailed analysis of the experiments shows that, in order to fit them, a more unstable Ci is required. Therefore, we include the formation of clusters in the simulations. The formation of carbon/Si self-interstitial clusters promotes the premature break-up of Ci and the increase of the Si self-interstitial concentration in the carbon rich regions and, consequently, provides a better fit to the experiments. The low solubility of carbon in silicon at the annealing temperatures explains why these clusters are formed, even under conditions where the self-interstitial concentration is below the equilibrium value.

AbstractThe discontinuous yielding of a model material, which contains an edge dislocation moving in the atmosphere of solute atoms, is studied by Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations. The stress-strain curves for a constant strain rate were obtained at different temperatures. The dislocation moves discontinuously, producing three types of serrated yielding behavior at intermediate temperatures for different imposed strain rates. Positive dependence of flow stress on temperature and negative strain rate sensitivity were observed in the regime of discontinuous motion. The present model, though highly simplified and not taking into account the collective behaviors of dislocations in real materials, does exhibit some of the basic features observed in experiments.

The kinetics of the hydrolysis and polycondensation reactions of saccharides have made the subject of numerous studies, due to their importance in several industrial sectors. The present work, presents a novel kinetic modeling framework that is specifically well-suited to reacting systems under strict moisture control that favor the polycondensation reactions towards the formation of high-degree polysaccharides. The proposed model is based on an extended and generalized kinetic scheme, including also the presence of polyols, and is formulated using two different numerical approaches, namely a deterministic one in terms of the method of moments and a stochastic kinetic Monte Carlo approach. Accordingly, the most significant advantages and drawbacks of each technique are clearly demonstrated and the most fitted one (i.e., the Monte Carlo method) is implemented for the modeling of the system under different conditions, for which experimental data were available. Through these comparisons it is shown that the model can successfully follow the evolution of the reactions up to the formation of polysaccharides of very high degrees of polymerization.
