摘要: Abstract Extended-range order (ERO), extending beyond 35 A, has been discovered in very large (>10 000 atom) structural models of a-Si. These weak, but quasi-periodic, atomic-density fluctuations have a period R ⋍ 3.4 A , which corresponds to the position first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP) structure factor a-Si at Q 1.9 −1 . In fact, more than half FSDP intensity is associated with ERO for r ≥ 10 Atomic-void-based correlations are as well defined atom distances: equivalently found be chemical-order prepeak Scc(Q) Bhatia-Thornton formalism calculated atom-void packing, thereby supporting void model origin FSDP.
