摘要
Molecular-dynamics simulations using the Stillinger-Weber three-body potential are used to synthesize fully dense nanocrystalline silicon with a grain size up to 7.3 nm by crystallization from the melt. The structures of the highly-constrained grain boundaries, triple lines and point grain junctions are found to be highly disordered and similar to the structure of amorphous silicon. These results suggest that nanocrystalline silicon may be treated as a two-phase system, namely, an ordered crystalline phase in the grain interiors connected by an amorphous, intergranular glue-like phase.
