Abstract

The crystalline regions in the models of disordered tetrahedral semiconductors were detected through topological local cluster concept of Marians and Hobbs. Simple algorithms were presented to detect both Wells-type shortest circuits and O'Keefe-type rings which was used to delineate alternative forms of the Schlafli cluster in models. Identical Schlafli clusters were yielded for both polycrystalline topologies which were cubic and hexagonal diamond like frameworks.
