Epitaxial Crystal Growth

AbstractWe investigate the kinetic role of a surfactant in the epitaxial Si/Ge crystal growth using ab initio molecular dynamics approach. We examine the previously suggested dimer-exchange mechanisms and find that kinetics plays a crucial role in determining the exchange process. We further find that the diffusion of adatoms on an island in the presence of a surfactant is quite different from the dimer-exchange process on a flat surface.

ABSTRACTWe have investigated the kinetic role of a surfactant in the epitaxial crystal growth of Si/Ge using an ab initio molecular dynamics approach. We find that adsorption and diffusion of an adatom on monohydride Si(001) surface is drastically altered from that on a clean surface in several ways. We particularly emphasize the role of H as a surfactant, and this is further compared to typical group V materials.

Study Approach

The effect of the Ti and Zr transition metals on the D03-Fe3Al intermetallic compounds has been investigated by means of ab initio Pseudo Potentials numerical simulations based on Density Functional Theory. Two main issues will be addressed the understanding of the role of these two transition metals in terms of stability of the bulk at the light of their site preference in the D03-Fe3Al structure the behaviour of Ti and Zr transition metals in the sigma 5 (310) [001] grain boundary and their effect on the structural stability of this interface. An important issue when studying these aspects is to take into accounts the effect of temperature. This requires a molecular dynamics treatment of the atoms in the supercell. The technique known as ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) solves these problems by combining ‘on the fly’ electronic structure calculations with finite temperature dynamics. Thus, our study was conducted both using the conventional static ab initio calculations (0K) as well as by taking into account the effect of temperature (Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics).

Ab initio molecular dynamics reveals that subtle variations in the energy landscape and density correlations can change by up to one order of magnitude the slippage of water on two-dimensional materials.
