Large scale simulation of quantum-mechanical molecular dynamics for nano-polycrystalline diamond
نویسندگان
چکیده
Quantum-mechanical molecular-dynamics simulations are carried out to explore possible precursor states of nano-polycrystalline diamond, a novel ultra-hard material produced directly from graphite. Large-scale simulation with 10 atoms is realized by using the ‘orderN ’ simulation code ‘ELSES’ (http://www.elses.jp). The simulation starts with a diamond structure that contains initial structural defects and results in a mixture of graphite(sp)-like and diamond(sp)-like regions as nano-meter-scale domains. We speculate that the domains are metastable and are possible candidates of the precursor structures.
