Implementation of an augmented Tersoff potential to describe the phase-change material GeTe
Abstract: Our work revolves around building and utilizing molecular dynamics simulations to characterize the dynamics of phase-change materials. This summer has been focused on implementing an augmented Tersoff potential. Derived by Federico Zipoli and Alessandro Curioni, this potential will allow longer time-scale simulations of Germanium-Telluride with the open-source code LAMMPS. Topics we plan on exploring … Read more
