In this work we study the effect reduction in the density of dangling bond species D-0 states in rare-earth (RE) doped a-Si films as a function concentration for different RE-specimens. The films a-Si-1_(x) REx, RE=Y3+, ...

We have developed an interatomic potential to investigate structural properties of hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride. The interatomic potential used the Tersoff functional form to describe the Si–Si, Si–N, Si–H, N–H, ...

Amorphous phosphorous-carbide films have been considered as a new tribological coating material with unique electrical properties. However, such CPx films have not found practical use until now because they tend to ...

In this paper we investigate in a-Si:H-based devices the accuracy of approximating dangling bonds by pairs of donor-like and acceptor-like states. We discuss the impact of using this approximation in device modeling by ...

Using ring polymer molecular dynamics simulations, we examine equilibrium and dynamical characteristics of solid-like, aqueous clusters that combine isotopic mixtures of HDO dilute in H2O, at temperatures intermediate ...

Supersaturation etching starts with Cl insertion into Si-Si bonds of Si(100) and leads to the desorption of SiCl2 pairs. During etching, insertion occurs through a Cl2 dissociative chemisorption process mediated by single ...
