Abstract

We generate liquid and amorphous Si1_xGex alloys for various Ge compositions using ab initio molecular dynamics approach. The electronic bonding characters and structural properties are discussed in terms of radial distribution function, bond angle distribution, and order parameters. Although the order parameters suggest approximately random alloy for all compositions, the snapshots reveal clearly phase separation. We will discuss how the phase can be separated in SiGe alloy system.
