Signatures of paracrystallinity in amorphous silicon from machine-learning-driven molecular dynamics

The structure of amorphous silicon has been studied for decades. The two main theories are based on a continuous random network and on a ‘paracrystalline’ model, respectively—the latter defined as showing localized structural order resembling the crystalline state whilst retaining an overall amorpho...
