Silicon (Si)
Models of silicon[edit]
Stillinger-Weber model[edit]
Tersoff potential[edit]
Quantum[edit]
Melting point[edit]
Yoo et al have calculated the melting point to be at zeo pressure [4]. The melting line has also been calculated [5].
Thermal conductivity[edit]
Transport Anomaly[edit]
Recent molecular dynamics studies by Dhabal et. al. shows that silicon possess transport (diffusivity viscosity) anomalies [7].
Polyamorphism in silicon[edit]
Silicon is a polyamorphic system. [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14].
