Thermal expansion of ZnSe by molecular dynamics simulation

Abstract

Thermal expansion of bulk ZnSe crystal, grown by physical vapour transport technique, is experimentally measured for various temperatures and molecular dynamics simulation using a three body Tersoff potential is also developed for the same. The resulting expansivity compares well with our experimental results and other reported values.
