Molecular dynamics simulations of shock-compressed single-crystal silicon

We present molecular dynamics simulations using a Tersoff-like potential of single crystals of silicon shock compressed along the O001 O direction. We find an elastic response up to a critical stress, above which the shear stress is relieved by an inelastic response associated with a partial transfo...
