A computer simulation of an amorphous thin film on a crystalline substrate
Abstract
We employ the Monte Carlo simulation method of classical statistical mechanics to study the structure and energetics of the crystal/amorphous interface. The interface is found to be approximately four atomic layers thick and provides good bonding between the amorphous and crystalline phases. © 1978.
