Abstract

Silicon nitride exhibits good mechanical properties and thermal stability at high temperatures. Since experiments have limitations in nanoscale characterization of the chemical structure and related properties, atomistic simulation is a proper way to investigate the mechanism of this unique feature. In this paper, the melt-quench method is used to generate the amorphous structure of silicon nitride; then the structural properties of silicon nitride under tensile deformation were studied by angular pair distribution functions. The corresponding mechanism of tensile stress induced structure rearrangement is explored.
