Computer Generation of Structural Models of Amorphous Si and Ge

Year: 1985

Type: article

Abstract: We have developed and applied a computer algorithm that generates realistic random-network models of $a$-Si with periodic boundary conditions. These are the first models to have correlation functions that show no serious discrepancy with experiment. The algorithm provides a much-needed systematic approach to model construction that can be used to generate models of a large class of amorphous materials.
