摘要
I present a method for efficiently calculating atomic forces from nonorthogonal tight-binding models. This method is applicable to systems that cannot be described by a periodic supercell. I use the method to determine the temperature-dependent structure of a silicon screw dislocation core. The core reconstruction changes with temperature; a broad, disordered core with many coordination defects appears at high temperatures.
