ABSTRACTWe investigate mechanisms of stress corrosion cracking in Si using a hybrid quantum-mechanical/molecular-dynamics simulation code developed recently for parallel computers. We perform the simulation for a cracked Si-model under tension (mode-I opening) with three H2O molecules around the crack front to investigate possible effects of both saturation of dangling bonds of Si with hydrogen atoms and environment molecules on the fracture initiation. Our results demonstrate existence of a path for an H2O molecule to react with Si-Si bonds at the crack front in contrast to a previous theoretical study based on the molecular orbital theory [W. Wong-Ng et al., Comp. Mater. Sci. 6, 63 (1996)].

ABSTRACTMany-body forces obtained by the Embedded-Atom Method (EAM) [41 are incorporated into the description of low energy collisions and surface ejection processes in molecular dynamics simulations of sputtering from metal targets. Bombardments of small, single crystal Cu targets (400–500 atoms) in three different orientations ({100}, {110}, {111}) by 5 keV Ar+ ions have been simulated. The results are compared to simulations using purely pair-wise additive interactions. Significant differences in the spectra of ejected atoms are found.
