Si→SiO2 transformation: Interfacial structure and mechanism

Abstract

We show that the c-Si→a-SiO2 transformation takes place via an ordered crystalline oxide layer ≃5 Å thick. Modeling of high-resolution transmission electron-microscope lattice images in two projections suggests the crystalline oxide to be tridymite, a stable, bulk form of SiO2.
