A combined first principles and Mohr-Coulomb criterion for the determination of the nanohardness of amorphous silicon

Although, the evaluation of the nanohardness of amorphous silicon (a-Si) has been the subject of a few experimental works but, to date, it has not been addressed theoretically yet. In this work, first principles Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT)-based molecular dynamics (MD) in combination w...
