successive insertion of 6000 C atoms, +the number necessary to form a precipitate with a radius of approximately 3 nm, +into a supercell consisting of 31 Si unit cells in each direction. +insertion is realized at constant temperature. +after insertion, the simulation is continued for 100 ps +follwed by a cooling sequence downto 20 degrees celsius. +due to the high amount of particles, +the classical potential is exclusively used. +since low carbon diffusion due to the overestimated barriers is expected, +insertion volumes v2 and v3 next to the total volume v1 are considered. +v2 corresponds to the minimal precipiatte size. +v3 contains the amount of silicon atoms to form such a minimal precipitate. slide 22 + +the radial distribution Si-C, C-C and Si-Si bonds of simulations, +in which C was inserted at 450 dc, +an operative and efficient temperature in ibs, are shown. + +for the low C concentration simulation, i.e. the v1 simulation, +a clearly 100 C-Si db dominated structure is obtained, +which is obvious by comparing it to the +reference distribution generated by a single Ci defect. +the second peak is a cut-off artifact, +correpsonding to the Si-C cut-off distance of 0.26 nm. +the C-C peak at 0.31 nm, as expected in cubic SiC, +is generated by concatenated, differently oriented Ci dbs. +the same distance is also expected for the Si atoms, and, indeed, +the db structure stretches the Si-Si next neighbor distance, +which is represented by nonzero values in the correlation function. + +so, the formation of Ci dumbbells indeed occurs. +even the C atoms are already found in a separation as expected in cubic SiC. + +turning to the high C concentration simulations, i.e. the v1 and v2 simulation, +a high amount of strongly bound C-C bonds +as in graphite or diamond are observed. +an increased defect and damage density is obtained, +which makes it hard to categorize and trace defect arrangements. +only short range orde is observed. +and, indeed, comparing to other distribution data, an amorphous SiC-like +phase is obtained. + slide 23 + +to summarize, the formation of cubic SiC fails to appear. +in the v1 simulation, formation of Ci indeed occurs, however, +agglomeration is missing. +in the high concentration simulation, an amorphous SiC-like structure, +which is not expected at 450 dc, is obtained. +no rearrangemnt into crystalline cubic SiC is indicated. + slide 24 + +having a closer look, there are two obvious reasons for this obstacle. + +first of all, there is the time scale problem inherent to md in general. +to minimize the integration error, the time step must be chosen smaller +than the reciprocal of the fastes vibrational mode. +several local minima exist, which are separated by large energy barriers. +due to the low probability for escaping such a local minimum, +a transition event correpsonds to a multiple of vibrational periods. +a phase transition, in turn, consists of many such infrequent transition events. +new accelerated methods, like temperature accelerated MD and so on, +have been developed to bypass the time scale problem while retaining proper +thermodynamic sampling. + +in addition, the overestimated diffusion barriers, +due to the short range character of the potential, +intensify this problem, which I called: +potential enhanced slow phase space propagation. + +the approach used in this study is to simply increase the temperature, however, +without possible corrections. +accelerated methods or higher time scales applied exclusively +are assumed oto be not sufficient. +moreover, to legitimate the usage of increased temperatures: +cubic SiC is also observed for higher temperatures, +there is definitely a higher temperature inside the sample, and, anyways, +structural evolution instead of equilibrium properties are matter of interest. + slide 25 + +and indeed, promising changes are observed by comparing, +again the radial distribution data of Si-C, Si-Si and C-C bonds +for temperatures up to 2050 dc. +first of all, the cut-off artifact disappears. +more important, a transition a 100 db into a Cs dominated structure takes place, +as can be seen by direct comparison with the respective reference peaks. + +the Si-Si rising peak at 0.325 nm is due to two Si atoms next to a Cs atom. + +the C-C next neighbor pairs are reduced, +which is mandatory for cubic SiC formation. +the peak at roughly 0.3 nm gets slightly shifter to higher distances. +the amount of bonds due to Ci 100 combinations, represented by dashed arrows, +decreases accompanied by an increase of bonds due to combinations of +Ci 100 and Cs and pure Cs combinations, represented by the dashed line and +solid arrows respectively. +increasing values in the range between the dashed line and first solid arrow +correpsond to bonds of a Cs and another Cs with a nearby Si_i atom. + slide 26 + +to conclude, stretched coherent structures of SiC embedded in the Si host +are directly observed. +therefore, an increased participation of Cs is suggested +for implantations at elevated temperatures, +which simulate the conditions prevalent in ibs that deviate the system +from thermodynamic equilibrium enabling Ci to turn into Cs. + +the emission of Si_i serves several needs: +as a vehicle to rearrange the Cs, +realized by recombination into the highly mobile Ci configuration. +furthermore, it serves as a building block for the surrounding Si host +or further SiC formation. +finally, it may compensate stress at the Si/SiC interface +or in the stretched SiC structure, which, again, +was diretly observed in simulation. + +this perfectly explains the results of the annealing experiments +stated in the beginning of this talk. +at low temperatures highly mobile Ci whereas at high temperatures stable Cs +configurations are formed. + +to summarize, the results suggest that Cs plays an important role +in the precipitation process. +moreover, high temperatures are necessary to model ibs conditions, +which are far from equilibrium. + slide 27 +to summarize and conclude + +slide 28 + +in the end, I would like to say thank you. +
