# Amorphous
Silicon in the amorphous regime: small seeded grains (~6 Å) with a soft
non-bonded clearance let atoms relax into a disordered tetrahedral network.
## Parameters
```python
from ase.build import bulk
import tricor as tc
atoms = bulk("Si", "diamond", a=5.431)
shell_target = tc.CoordinationShellTarget.from_atoms(atoms, phi_num_bins=90)
cell = tc.Supercell.from_atoms(
atoms,
cell_dim_angstroms=(40, 40, 40),
r_max=10, r_step=0.1, phi_num_bins=90,
rng_seed=42,
)
cell.generate(
shell_target,
num_steps=120,
grain_size=None,
bond_weight=0.6,
angle_weight=0.20,
repulsion_weight=1.3,
hard_core_scale=0.86,
nonbond_push_scale=0.45,
displacement_sigma=0.12,
)
```
## Relaxation trajectory
Interactive 3D viewer of the shell-relaxation trajectory (40 × 40 × 40 Å cell).
Drag to rotate, scroll to zoom. Controls below the canvas play, scrub, and change
playback speed.
## g3 distribution
Measured from the **final (post-relaxation) atoms**. The heatmap is the
reduced three-body density in units of the uniform random reference, where white
= 1.0, blue = depleted, red = enhanced. The lower panel shows the pair
profile g(r); the shaded amber band marks the first-neighbour shell used as
the root-bond integration window for the g3 slice. For silicon there is a
single Si-Si-Si triplet channel.
