Silicon (Si)

Models of silicon

Stillinger-Weber model

[1]

Tersoff potential

[2]

Quantum

[3]

Melting point

Yoo et al have calculated the melting point to be at zeo pressure [4]. The melting line has also been calculated [5].

Polyamorphism in silicon

Silicon is a polyamorphic system. [6] [7] [8] [9] [10].
