    Abstract

    Modications are proposed to the StillingerWeber (SW) potential, an empirical interaction potential for silicon.

    The modications are specically intended to improve the description of the amorphous phase and are obtained by a

    direct t to the amorphous structure. The potential is adjusted to reproduce the location of the transverse optic (TO)

    and transverse acoustic (TA) peaks of the vibrational density of states (VDOS), properties insensitive to the details of

    experimental preparation. These modications also lead to excellent agreement with structural properties. Comparison

    with other empirical potentials shows that amorphous silicon congurations generated with the modied potential have

    overall better vibrational and structural properties. 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

    1. Introduction

    In the past, various empirical potentials [19]

    have been proposed to describe the dierent

    phases of silicon. Several of these empirical po-

    tentials [24,6] were tested and compared to each

    other in review articles [1012]. The general con-

    clusion of these reviews is that it is dicult to re-

    produce accurately with a single empirical

    potential the crystalline, amorphous and liquid

    phases of silicon. Since atomic congurations are

    readily obtained in the liquid and crystalline

    phases of silicon, their structural and electronic

    properties are typically used as input for tting the

    parameters of the potential, with a consequence

    that the amorphous phase is generally less well

    reproduced.

    Recent advances in the method of simulation

    have made it possible to generate eciently well-

    relaxed congurations of a-Si that are insensitive

    to their history of preparation [13]. This allows us

    to t a potential directly to the amorphous phase.

    The aim of this paper is to present a new tting

    procedure and use it to generate such an empirical

    potential. This potential should accurately repro-

    duce the structural and elastic properties of the

    amorphous phase of silicon and serve as a basis for

    direct comparison to experiments. To this end, we

    start with the StillingerWeber (SW) potential [3]

    and modify some of its parameters in order to

    achieve good agreement with experimental data.

    More specically, we concentrate on the location

    of the transverse acoustic (TA) and transverse

    optic (TO) peaks of the vibrational density of

    states (VDOS) quantities that are found to be

    relatively insensitive to the experimental method of

    preparation as well as on a number of structural

    properties such as the radial distribution function

    (RDF) and the bond-angle distribution. This ap-

    proach is similar in spirit to the one followed by

    Ding and Andersen for the generation of an em-

    pirical potential for a-Ge [14]. As it turns out,

    within our tting procedure, a correct description

    of the positions of the TA and TO peaks is su-

    cient to ensure good structural properties.

    The outline of this paper is as follows. We

    present the SW potential in Section 2 and outline

    the procedure followed in the preparation of the

    amorphous congurations in Section 3. Based on

    these congurations, we adjust the parameters of

    the potential to obtain the experimental positionsof the TA and TO peaks of the VDOS (Section 4).

    Finally, the structural and elastic properties of the

    modied potential are compared to experiment, to

    the standard SW potential and the environment-

    dependent interaction potential (EDIP) of Bazant

    et al. [79].

    2. The SW potential

    Stillinger and Weber [3] proposed a potentialfor silicon with a two and three-body part:

    A

    Xhjiki

    where the two-body part is given by

    rij=r a

    c

    rik=r a

    cos hjik cos h

    02Ha rij=r

    Ha rik=r: 3

    Here, Hx is the Heaviside step function and h0

    the tetrahedral angle with cos h0 1=3. The

    values of the original parameters are given in

    Table 1.

    The original SW parameters are tted to thecrystalline and liquid phases of silicon. For a-Si,

    these parameters lead to a high-density liquid-like

    structure which is characterized by a shoulder on

    the second-neighbor peak of the RDF and a large

    fraction of overcoordinated atoms [13,15]. A

    common ad hoc modication to alleviate these

    problems is to boost the three-body term by 50

    100% (see, for instance, [13,15]). This modication

    yields samples with a RDF in agreement with ex-

    periments.

    3. Generation of sample congurations

    To generate amorphous congurations, we

    proceed using the activationrelaxation technique

    (ART) as in [13,16,17] and a SW potential with a

    three-body interaction enhanced by 50%. This

    follows a common ad hoc prescription to avoid the

    large number of over-coordinated atoms produced

    by the standard SW potential: boosting the three-

    body term by 50100% generally yields samples

    with structural properties in good agreement with

    experiment [13,15].

    The overall procedure is as follows:

    1. Initially, 1000 atoms are placed at random in a

    periodic cubic cell; the conguration is then re-

    laxed at zero pressure.

    2. The conguration is annealed using the ART.

    One ART move consists of two steps: (1) the

    sample is brought from a local energy minimum

    to a nearby saddle-point (activation), and (2)

    then relaxed to a new minimum with a local en-

    ergy minimization scheme including volume op-

    timization, at zero pressure. The new minimum

    is accepted with a Metropolis probability at

    temperature T 0:25 eV.

    The annealing phase is stopped after approxi-

    mately ve ART moves per atom, when the

    energy has reached a plateau.

    3. We continue to apply ART, storing one sample

    every 250 ART moves, collecting a total of 20

    congurations.

    This procedure is repeated seven times, generating

    seven statistically independent sets of 20 correlated

    congurations. As was shown in previous studies

    [13,16], this approach yields structures in goodagreement with experiment: the models display a

    low density of coordination defects, a narrow

    bond-angle distribution and an excellent overlap

    with experimental RDF.

    With this set of models, it is now possible to

    ret the SW parameters to the amorphous phase.

    4. The modied potential

    Many properties of the interaction betweensilicon atoms are already captured by existing

    empirical potentials such as the SW potential. It

    should therefore be possible to optimize these

    potentials to the amorphous phase with only mi-

    nor modications.

    Information on structural and elastic properties

    of amorphous silicon can be obtained from a wide

    variety of experiments, such as neutron and X-ray

    scattering, Raman, electron-spin resonance, and

    X-ray photo-absorption. Extracting a detailed

    picture of the atomic interactions from these ex-

    periments, however, is not straightforward. Most

    of these measurements do not provide direct mi-

    croscopic information but rather properties aver-

    aged over a large number of atomic environments;

    others are highly sensitive to the details of the

    sample preparation, and can thus not be used,

    since the experimental sample preparation cannot

    be directly simulated.

    A convenient quantity for our purpose is the

    VDOS, especially the locations of the TA and TO

    peaks, which are not sensitive to experimental

    details and yet are highly sensitive to properties of

    the potential used since they relate to higher terms

    in the elasticity. In contrast to their positions, the

    amplitudes of these peaks vary between experi-

    ments [27].

    To rst order, vibrational modes located in the

    TA band correspond to bond-stretching modes

    while those in the TO regime are associated with

    bond-bending, or bond-angle, vibrations. Due to

    the disordered nature of these materials, a signi-

    cant amount of mixing makes the details of the

    contributions to these peak more subtle in reality.

    In the SW potential, the amount of energy re-

    quired to stretch a bond is determined by the

    strength of the two-body term (i.e. by A in Eq.(1)). Bond-bending motion is determined by the

    strength of the three-body term (i.e. by k in Eq.(1)). By adjusting the two prefactors A and k, wecan t the locations of both the TA and TO peak

    in the calculated VDOS to experimental values. Of

    the three parameters A; , and k, one is redundant;it is sucient to vary k to set the relative three-

    body strength and to choose to set the overallenergy scale.

    Our rst aim is to adjust the ratio of the loca-

    tions of the TA and TO peaks by tuning k. Fork=k0 1:00; 1:25; 1:50; 1:75 and 2.00, with k0 21:0, we follow the following procedure:1. All samples are re-relaxed at zero pressure us-

    ing the steepest descent method, and the SW

    potential with the original parameters (except-

    ing k).

    2. For each sample, the Hessian matrix is calculat-

    ed and diagonalized, resulting in the VDOS.

    The positions of the TA and TO peaks are re-

    corded.

    Figs. 1(a) and (b) show the location of the TA and

    TO peak, respectively, as a function ofk=k0. Whilethe location of the TA peak is highly sensitive to

    changes in k, the location of the TO peak changes

    less than 2%.

    Neutron scattering experiments [18] on a-Si

    yield TA and TO peaks at xTA 184:8 andxTO 467:6 cm

    1, respectively, which gives a ra-

    tio xTO=xTA 2:53. Fig. 1(c) shows this ratio forthe computer simulation, as a function of k=k0.The dashed line is the experimental value. From

    Fig. 1(c), we see that the choice k=k0 1:5 pro-vides a t with the experimental result and that the

    original choice k=k0 1:0 does not reproduce ex-periments, as expected from earlier reports [13,15].

    We can follow this procedure because of the

    overall insensitivity of the peak location to the

    detail of the local structure, i.e., the value ofk used

    in the initial relaxation of the seven independent

    sets of samples does not inuence the curve of Fig.

    1. Using a set of samples generated with values of

    k 1:40k0 and k 2:00k0, we found results iden-tical to those presented in Fig. 1. This conrms

    once more the independence of the ratio of the

    positions of the peaks to the structural details of

    the models.

    After tting the three-body parameter k, we set

    the overall energy scale parameter in Eq. (1) asfollows: Fig. 1(b) shows that, for k=k0 1:5,xTO 536:3 cm

    1. The experimental value is

    xTO 467:6 cm1, a factor 0.87 lower. To obtain

    agreement with experiment, the parameter istherefore multiplied by 0:872 0:76. The squareappears because the frequencies in the VDOS are

    proportional to the square-root of the eigenvalues

    of the Hessian. Thus, we have scaled the strength

    of the three-body interactions, governed by k, bya factor of 1.14, and the two-body interactions,

    governed by A, by a factor of 0.76.The set of parameters that we thus propose for

    amorphous silicon is presented in Table 1. As

    mentioned above, the 50% increase in the ratio of

    the three-body to the two-body term has already

    been proposed earlier for a-Ge by Ding and An-

    dersen [14] and by many others as an ad hoc way

    to obtain a realistic structure. We obtain a similar

    ratio following a dierent route: by tting the

    vibrational properties of the model to experiments.

    5. Measurements and comparison

    We now compare the structural and elastic

    properties of congurations generated with the

    modied SW potential with experiment, as well as

    with those of the standard version of this potential

    and that of the EDIP of Bazant et al. [79], the

    best empirical potential now for the crystalline and

    liquid phase. The properties of other empirical

    potentials, such as BiswasHamann [6] and Terso

    [2], have been reviewed elsewhere [11] and shown

    to reproduce poorly the experimental properties of

    amorphous silicon.

    To test these potentials, we generate a new,

    1000-atom conguration following the method

    outlined in Section 3 and using modied SW in-

    teractions. The structural properties of this sample

    are reported in Table 2 and Fig. 2 and are found to

    be in agreement with experiment. In order to oer

    perimental value [18]. The best agreement with experiment oc-

    a better comparison to the elastic and vibrational

    properties of the three potentials, we use the nal

    conguration presented here as a seed for ART

    using standard SW and EDIP. With each of these

    potentials, an additional 5000 ART moves are

    generated; this allows the conguration to evolve

    signicantly away from its starting point and

    yields a structure optimized for that potential.

    Table 2 lists energetic and structural properties

    of these three samples. The list of nearest-neigh-bors is obtained by setting the cut-o distance at

    the minimum between the rst- and second-

    neighbor peaks in the RDF.

    It is clear from Table 2 that modied SW gen-

    erates the best structure, followed by EDIP, which

    leads to a wider bond-angle distribution and a

    higher number of defects (mostly over-coordinated

    atoms). These two factors are important, since the

    width of the bond-angle distribution is considered

    a ne measure of the quality of a model and ex-

    periments have shown no indication of overcoor-

    dination in a-Si.

    The top graph of Fig. 2 shows the RDF for the

    conguration generated using modied SW inter-

    actions, together with the experimental RDF ob-

    tained from high quality a-Si samples prepared by

    ion bombardment [24,25]. To our knowledge, this

    experimental RDF has the highest resolution to

    date. The middle and bottom graphs show the

    RDF obtained using standard SW and EDIP in-

    teractions, respectively.

    The RDF generated with standard SW shows a

    shoulder on the left side of the second neighbor

    peak and thus fails to reproduce experiment; this

    shortcoming of standard SW is well known. EDIP

    reproduces the experimental RDF fairly well,

    though not as well as modied SW does: there are

    substantial discrepancies with experiment in the

    heights of the rst and second neighbor peaks. The

    RDF generated with modied SW interactions has

    the best overall experimental agreement: it repro-duces the experimental rst and second neighbor

    peak-heights and does not produce a shoulder on

    the second neighbor peak. It does, however, fall

    below the experimental curve on the left of the

    second neighbor peak.

    As an additional check, we determine the area

    between the calculated and experimental RDF

    curves. In case of perfect experimental agreement,

    this area should be zero. We consider the interval

    from r 2:0 to r 8:0 A since the uctuations inthe experimental RDF for r< 2:0 A are nite-sizeartefacts [24,25]. For modied SW, standard SW

    and EDIP, we nd areas of 0.63, 0.67 and 0.84,

    respectively, showing that modied SW is indeed

    closest to experiment.

    Fig. 3 compares the experimentally obtained

    VDOS for a-Si to vibrational state densities ob-

    tained using modied SW (top), standard SW

    (middle) and EDIP (bottom). While standard SW

    and EDIP correctly reproduce the experimental

    TA peak frequency, the TO peak frequency

    exceeds the experimental value. Naturally, the

    modied SW potential does not suer from this

    shortcoming, as it was explicitly tted to repro-

    duce the experimental values.

    Fig. 3 also shows that none of the potentials

    capture the experimental shape of the VDOS. In

    particular, there is large discrepancy between

    simulation and experiment in the TA and TO peak

    amplitudes. However, several studies [26,27] have

    shown that the TA and TO peak amplitudes de-

    pend on defect concentration and the degree of

    relaxation in the a-Si samples. The most likely

    explanation for this discrepancy is therefore that

    the degree of relaxation in the experimental sample

    diers from that of the computer generated sam-

    ples used in our simulation.

    As a nal test, we calculate the elastic constants

    of a-Si using the various potentials. The results are

    summarized and compared to experiment in Table

    3. The experimental value for the bulk modulus B

    is obtained from sound velocity measurements

    used, with Poisson's ratio m 0:22, sound velocityv and density q. To our knowledge, no experi-

    mental values for the constants Cij for a-Si exist.

    The bulk modulus for modied SW is signicantly

    lower than for the other two potentials, in better

    agreement with experiment.

    6. Conclusions and future work

    In this paper, we have presented a new set of

    parameters for the SW potential, obtained by di-

    rectly tting to the amorphous phase, and com-

    pared the structural, elastic and vibrational

    properties of congurations obtained with this

    potential to those generated using the standard

    SW potential and the EDIP, two common empir-ical potentials.

    The modied SW potential was tted to re-

    produce the locations of the TA and TO peak of

    the experimental VDOS, quantities independent of

    the method of preparation. This is achieved by

    scaling k and by factors of 1.5 and 0.76, respec-tively, while keeping all other parameters xed.

    Thus, we have scaled the strength of the three-

    body interactions, governed by k, by a factor of1.14, and the two-body interactions, governed by

    A, by a factor of 0.76.Without any additional tting, the modied SW

    potential gives structures for a-Si in excellent

    agreement with experimental results: the RDF is

    correctly reproduced, and the number of coordi-

    nation defects and angular deviations of the gen-

    erated structures are in agreement with

    experiment. Both the structural properties and the

    bulk modulus obtained with this potential are in

    better agreement with experiment than those gen-

    erated using EDIP or the standard SW.

    It has been well established that empirical po-

    tentials cannot be tted with accuracy to all the

    phases of silicon. The modied SW potential pre-

    sented here is designed to accurately describe the

    vibrational as well as the structural and elastic

    properties of a-Si. This makes the potential par-

    ticularly useful to model Raman and neutron

    scattering experiments. In the future, we will use it

    to study the relation between structural properties

    of amorphous silicon and features of the Raman

    spectrum, such as the narrowing of the TO peak

    width during relaxation, and to investigate the

    relation between Raman and neutron-scattering

    spectra.
