Modeling phase separation in nonstoichiometric silica
We have modeled the decomposition of nonstoichiometric amorphous SiOₓ upon annealing into silicon and stoichiometric silica, using a new method based on mapping Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations onto rate equations. The concentrations of all oxidation states of silicon are derived as a function of...
