Molecular dynamics studies of the bonding properties of amorphous silicon nitride coatings on crystalline silicon [PDF]
, 2011 In this paper we present molecular dynamics simulations of silicon nitride, both in bulk and as an interface to crystalline silicon. We investigate, in particular, the bonding structure of the silicon nitride and analyze the simulations to search for de-

Effect of silicic acid and other silicon compounds on fungal growth in oligotrophic and nutrient-rich media [PDF]
, 1997 Mycelium grew from a spore-mycelial inoculum of Aspergillus oryzae added to ultra-pure water (upw) containing silicon compounds, but did not grow in upw alone. Growth of other fungi also occurred in upw only when silicon compounds were added.
