Abstract

We have implemented a modified diffusion limited aggregation model to simulate the porous silicon structure obtained by electro-chemical dissolution. The fractal structures thus obtained have been used as starting configurations from which a fully equilibrated structure was determined by the method of molecular dynamics.
