Structure and Dynamics of amorphous Silica Surfaces
We use molecular dynamics computer simulations to study the equilibrium properties of the surface of amorphous silica. Two types of geometries are investigated: i) clusters with different diameters (13.5Å, 19Å, and 26.5Å) and ii) a thin film with thickness 29Å. We find that the shape of the clusters is independent of temperature and that it becomes more spherical with increasing size. The surfa...
متن کاملAmorphous Silica: A Molecular Dynamics Computer Simulation
We use molecular dynamics computer simulations to calculate the frequency dependence of the specific heat of a SiO2 melt. The ions interact with the BKS potential and the simulations are done in the NVE ensemble. We find that the frequency dependence of the specific heat shows qualitatively the same behavior as the one of structural quantities, in that at high frequencies a microscopic peak is ...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics study of alkylsilane monolayers on realistic amorphous silica surfaces.
Interfacial properties of n-alkylsilane monolayers on silica have been investigated with molecular dynamics simulations using both reactive and classical (i.e., nonreactive) force fields. A synthesis mimetic simulation (SMS) procedure using the reactive force field ReaxFF has been developed to mimic the experimental processing of silicon wafers involved in the preparation of alkylsilane monolay...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of atomic-level brittle fracture mechanisms in amorphous silica
We have examined the atomic dynamics of the brittle fracture process in amorphous silica using molecular dynamics. Under strain, extensive atomic restructuring occur in the vicinity of voids leading to the formation of 2membered (2-M) silica rings that are much different than the open network structure of the bulk. The sequence of events that lead to the formation of the 2-M rings was character...
متن کاملMolecular-dynamics simulations of thin polyisoprene films confined between amorphous silica substrates.
Constant temperature-constant pressure (NpT) molecular-dynamics computer simulations have been carried out for the united-atom model of a non-crosslinked (1,4) cis-polyisoprene (PI) melt confined between two amorphous, fully coordinated silica surfaces. The Lennard-Jones 12-6 potential was implemented to describe the polymer-silica interactions. The thickness H of the produced PI-silica film ha...
