Understanding the structure of amorphous carbon and silicon with machine learning atomistic modeling

When we think about semiconductors the first ones to come to mind are silicon, germanium and the III-Vs (GaAs, InP, AlN, GaN, etc.), in their crystalline forms. In fact, the degree of crystallinity in these materials often dictates the quality of the devices that can be made with them. As an example, dislocation densities as …
