Elastic Properties of Diamond-Like Crystals
Elastic Properties of Diamond-Like Crystals
This Demonstration enables the calculation of several elastic properties of Si, Ge, and diamond (C) crystals. First, you choose the material and the crystal size. You can then plot Young's modulus, the Poisson ratio, and the shear modulus. You can evaluate the crystal deformation along any crystallographic direction by setting one or two of the perpendicular applied momenta. Finally, you can calculate the effects of miscut and misflat defects.
The code is described in detail in [1].
