Abstract EN
The rapid solidification of liquid silicon carbide (SiC) is studied by molecular dynamic simulation using the Tersoff potential.
The structural properties of liquid and amorphous SiC are analyzed by the radial distribution function, angular distribution function, coordination number, and visualization technology.
Results show that both heteronuclear and homonuclear bonds exist and no atomic segregation occurs during solidification.
The bond angles of silicon and carbon atoms are distributed at around 109° and 120°, respectively, and the average coordination number is <4.
Threefold carbon atoms and fourfold silicon atoms are linked together by six typical structures and ultimately form a random network of amorphous structure.
The simulated results help understand the structural properties of liquid and amorphous SiC, as well as other similar semiconductor alloys.
