Title: Structural insights into amorphous silicon from atomistic machine learning
Abstract: Amorphous silicon (a-Si) is a prototypical disordered network, yet experimental results have not been fully unified under one theoretical model of its atomistic structure.
Using a computationally efficient machine-learning interatomic potential, we systematically sample the configurational space of a-Si by simulated melt-quenching and build a large dataset of silicon structures, probing the limit between amorphization and crystallization. Our ex...
