DescriptionMassively parallel molecular dynamics simulations
carried out on the Argonne Leadership Computing
Facility’s supercomputer, Mira, are providing insight
into materials that are vital to the improved design and
functionality of the next generation of electronic
devices. Silicene has a number of desirable properties,
which could make it ideal for use in such devices. These
simulations identify the elementary steps involved in
the formation and evolution of monolayers of silicene on
an iridium substrate. In this work, we present the
visualization of the various stages of silicene
nucleation and growth identified in these studies.
