AbstractWe report on extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on a-Si:H for up to 5 Ps using the ab initio code of Sankey and Drabold. The supercells contain about 70 atoms and only one defect in order to minimize defect-defect interaction. Simulations on supercell samples that originally contain one bond centered (BC) H in an otherwise defect free sample exhibit BC to BC diffusion as in c-Si. However, we also observe localized motion of defects and H atoms on a very fast time scale that probably has been observed in several experiments.

Hydrogen bonding OH···O geometries in the liquid state of linear alcohols, derived from ab initio MD simulations, show no change from methanol to pentanol, in contrast to that observed in their crystalline state.
