Simulation of Silicon Thin Film Deposition

A mentored research project on the Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Si thin film deposition using LAMMPS.

This research project focuses on the simulation of thin film deposition of Silicon (Si) onto a substrate made from crystalline silicon.

Mentor:

  • Professor Raghavan Ranganathan [cite: 10]

Project Details:

  • The simulation is performed using the Molecular Dynamics Simulation technique[cite: 10].
  • A LAMMPS (Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator) script is utilized[cite: 10].
  • The pseudo potential used in the simulation is Tersoff[cite: 10].

Team:

  • Hrishi Harsora [cite: 11]
  • Harsh Jamgaonkar [cite: 11]
