Formation of Dislocations in the Growth of Silicon along Different Crystallographic Directions—A Molecular Dynamics Study

Molecular dynamics simulations of the seeded solidification of silicon along <100>, <110>, <111> and <112> directions have been carried out. The Tersoff potential is adopted for computing atomic interaction. The control of uniaxial strains in t...
