Abstract

Using molecular dynamics, we present a quantitative method which systematically finds double-well potentials in amorphous silicon. A number of double-well potentials with low asymmetries was found to enable a structurally explicit microscopic portrayal of tunneling states in covalently bonded amorphous systems. Study of the short-range order shows these states to be predominantly associated with dangling bonds.
