Stress variations near surfaces in diamond-like amorphous carbon

open access: yes, 2006
Using Monte Carlo simulations within the empirical potential approach, we examine the effect produced by the surface environment on the atomic level stresses in tetrahedral amorphous carbon. Both the distribution of stresses and the distributions of sp^2
