Atomic-scale insights on the formation of ordered arrays of edge dislocations in Ge/Si(001) films via molecular dynamics simulations
Abstract Heteroepitaxial films of Ge on Si(001) are receiving wide attention due to several possible applications in micro- and opto-electronics. Understanding the dynamic behavior of linear defects, such as dislocations, is key. They are unavoidably present in such systems due to the lattice mismat...
