 Article overview



Vibrational behaviour of a realistic amorphous-silicon model

Subject Materials Science
AbstractThe vibrational properties of a high-quality realistic model of amorphous silicon are examined. The longitudinal and transverse dynamical structure factors are calculated, and fitted to a damped harmonic oscillator (DHO) function. The width $Gamma$ of the best-fit DHO to the longitudinal dynamical structure factor scales approximately as $k^{2}$ for wavevectors $klesssim0.55 extrm{AA}^{-1}$, which is above the Ioffe-Regel crossover frequency separating the propagating and diffusing regimes, occurring at $k=0.38pm0.03 extrm{AA}^{-1}$. Using the DHO function as a fitting function for the transverse dynamical structure factor (without theoretical justification), gives a dependence of $Gammapropto k^{alpha}$ with $alphasim2.5$ for wavevectors $klesssim0.7 extrm{AA}^{-1}$. There was no evidence for $Gammapropto k^{4}$ behaviour for either polarization.
