The tight-binding molecular dynamics method with hot electrons is used to simulate the laser-induced melting of silicon. The results are in good agreement with previous ab initio simulation and experimental data. Our findings assess the reliability of the tight-binding model to describe silicon with a high concentration of excited electrons. The role of volume changes in the laser-induced melting has also been addressed within constant-pressure tight-binding molecular dynamics.

Abstract
The tight-binding molecular dynamics method with hot electrons is used to simulate the laser-induced melting of silicon. The results are in good agreement with previous ab initio simulation and experimental data. Our findings assess the reliability of the tight-binding model to describe silicon with a high concentration of excited electrons. The role of volume changes in the laser-induced melting has also been addressed within constant-pressure tight-binding molecular dynamics.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
