From: Signatures of paracrystallinity in amorphous silicon from machine-learning-driven molecular dynamics

We study four structural models of increasing paracrystallinity (I–IV) as well as the CRN structure shown in Fig. 1a. a Radial distribution function, and corresponding inset with experimental RDF from ref. 38. b Dihedral-angle distribution with a schematic indicating the definition of ϕ. c Distribution of m-membered shortest-path rings.
