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 کاملHigh Frequency Dynamics of Amorphous Silica
We present the results of extensive molecular dynamics computer simulations in which the high frequency dynamics of silica, ν > 0.5 THz, is investigated in the viscous liquid state as well as in the glass state. We characterize the properties of high frequency sound modes by analyzing Jl(q, ν) and Jt(q, ν), the longitudinal and transverse current correlation function, respectively. For wave–vec...
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 کاملAmorphous silica at surfaces and interfaces: simulation studies
The structure of surfaces and interfaces of silica (SiO2) is investigated by large scale molecular dynamics computer simulations. In the case of a free silica surface, the results of a classical molecular dynamics simulation are compared to those of an ab initio method, the Car–Parrinello molecular dynamics. This comparative study allows to check the accuracy of the model potential that underli...
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...
