Abstract
The effects of environmental molecules on fracture initiation in silicon were discussed. The study was carried out by using a hybrid quantum-mechanical/ molecular-dynamics simulation. The (110) crack surfaces of pure silicon were considered to the environmental effects of H 2O molecules. It was found that, depending on preparation procedures, crack surfaces can be partially saturated by H or other elements.
