Radial Distribution Function and Structural Relaxation in Amorphous Solids
A method of interpreting radial distribution functions (RDF) of amorphous metals is proposed in which the role of the local atomic structure is emphasized. It is found that the width and height of the peaks of the RDF are related to the second moment of the atomic-level hydrostatic stress distribution ⟨p2⟩. The results of this analysis are then used to explain the details of the changes that oc...
متن کاملBasic mechanisms of structural relaxation and diffusion in amorphous silicon
The low-temperature dynamics in amorphous silicon occurs through a sequence of discrete, activated events that reorganize the topology of the network. In this review, we present some recent work done to understand better the nature of these events and the associated dynamics in a-Si. Using the activation-relaxation technique (ART), we generated more than 8000 events in a 1000-atom model of a-Si...
متن کاملStrain localization driven by structural relaxation in sheared amorphous solids.
A two dimensional amorphous material is modeled as an assembly of mesoscopic elemental pieces coupled together to form an elastically coherent structure. Plasticity is introduced as the existence of different minima in the energy landscape of the elemental constituents. Upon the application of an external strain rate, the material shears through the appearance of elemental slip events with quad...
متن کاملStructural Modification of Amorphous Fused Silica under Femtosecond Laser Irradiation
Non-linear absorption of femtosecond laser pulses enables the induction of structural changes in the interior of bulk transparent materials without affecting their surface. This property can be exploited for the transmission welding of transparent dielectrics, three dimensional optical data storages and waveguides. In the present study, femtosecond laser pulses were tightly focused within the i...
متن کاملThermal conductivity accumulation in amorphous silica and amorphous silicon
We predict the properties of the propagating and nonpropagating vibrational modes in amorphous silica (a-SiO2) and amorphous silicon (a-Si) and, from them, thermal conductivity accumulation functions. The calculations are performed using molecular dynamics simulations, lattice dynamics calculations, and theoretical models. For a-SiO2, the propagating modes contribute negligibly to thermal condu...
