LAMMPS Gao-Weber potential combined with a modified repulsive ZBL core function for the Si-C system developed by German Samolyuk (2016) v000 |
---|---|
Description |
The abstract from the paper describing the Gao-Weber potential is provided below. A description of the ZBL potential can be found at http://lammps.sandia.gov/doc/pair_tersoff_zbl.html#zbl-zbl Defect energetics in silicon carbide (SiC )have been widely studied using Tersoff potentials, but these potentials do not provide a good description of interstitial properties. In the present work, an empirical many-body interatomic potential is developed by fitting to various equilibrium properties and stable defect configurations in bulk SiC, using a lattice relaxation fitting approach. This parameterized potential has been used to calculate defect formation energies and to determine the most stable configurations for interstitials using the molecular dynamics method. Although the formation energies of vacancies are smaller than those obtained by ab initio calculations, the properties of antisite defects and interstitials are in good agreement with the results calculated by ab initio methods. It is found that the most favorable configurations for C interstitials are <100> and <110> dumbbells on both Si and C sites, with formation energies from 3.04 to 3.95 eV. The most favorable Si interstitial is the tetrahedral interstitial site, surrounded by four C atoms, with a formation energy of 3.97 eV. The present results will be discussed and compared to those obtained by others using various empirical potentials in SiC. |

This bar chart plot shows the mono-atomic body-centered cubic (bcc) lattice constant predicted by the current model (shown in the unique color) compared with the predictions for all other models in the OpenKIM Repository that support the species. The vertical bars show the average and standard deviation (one sigma) bounds for all model predictions. Graphs are generated for each species supported by the model.
This graph shows the cohesive energy versus volume-per-atom for the current mode for four mono-atomic cubic phases (body-centered cubic (bcc), face-centered cubic (fcc), simple cubic (sc), and diamond). The curve with the lowest minimum is the ground state of the crystal if stable. (The crystal structure is enforced in these calculations, so the phase may not be stable.) Graphs are generated for each species supported by the model.
This bar chart plot shows the mono-atomic face-centered diamond lattice constant predicted by the current model (shown in the unique color) compared with the predictions for all other models in the OpenKIM Repository that support the species.

This graph shows the dislocation core energy of a cubic crystal at zero temperature and pressure for a specific set of dislocation core cutoff radii. After obtaining the total energy of the system from conjugate gradient minimizations, non-singular, isotropic and anisotropic elasticity are applied to obtain the dislocation core energy for each of these supercells with different dipole distances. Graphs are generated for each species supported by the model.
