Growth of amorphous carbon: Low-energy molecular dynamics simulation of atomic bombardment - art. no. 193404

The growth of amorphous carbon thin film on a [111] diamond surface has bee n studied by a tight-binding molecular dynamics technique. Six different th ree-dimensional networks were constructed with periodic boundary conditions in two dimensions. Time-dependent nonequilibrium growth was simulated and densities. radial distribution functions, coordination numbers, bond angle distributions, and ring statistics were analyzed.
