STRUCTURAL MODELLING OF THE LIQUID STATE OF TETRAHEDRALLY BONDED SEMICONDUCTORS

Abstract
The atomic-scale structure of liquid germanium and silicon was modelled. A model with structured first atomic coordination was proposed. The first shell consists of two subshells : the inner one - a distorted tetrahedral configuration, the outer one - a random configuration of 1-5 atoms. An excellent fit to the experimental diffraction data was obtained when weak bond bending forces in the tetrahedral subshell were considered.
